Should Our Troops Go or Stay

Seth 1 Comment

The Karzai government asked the United States to keep troops in Afghanistan beyond Obama’s July 2011 timeline. I know that the Democrats and Republicans all have their own ideas why we should be there and why we should not be there.

As an American kid it is my opinion that Afghans request to keep troops in Afghanistan is a good idea for a simple reason. By having troops in Afghanistan we can better keep our eyes on the crappie  terrorist to prevent actions such as them shipping bombs to the United States.  If there is a terrorist attack or threatened attack close to Afghanistan  or some other nearby country we can be quick to eliminate the scum or defend .

During  World War II when we raided the beaches in Normandy almost 1,500 American soldiers lost their life on D-Day and over another 5,000 American solders were wounded. I wouldn’t want to see this type of slaughter ever happen again on a single day like it did then and on  D-Day or 9/11 when terrorist attacked America. I know that Normandy is not the same type of war as it is in Afghanistan but when I think of how easy it is for our troops to be killed when we are not prepared this bothers me.

A disadvantage of keeping troops in Afghanistan could be if an attack happened in the USA or very close we will have a lot less troops near by. Even so, we now have troops stationed overseas in over 150 different countries.

For these reasons I hope  our president will allow a few of our troops to stay in Afghanistan instead of having all of our troops come home.

Support Your Candidate

Seth Leave a Comment

Even if you are not old enough to vote you are old enough to support political candidates. In this picture I am putting up a sign for Art Robinson, candidate for Congress in Oregon’s 4th District.

Some of my friends ask me why I care about politics. I care because I see politicians doing stupid things that I think will hurt me and hurt my future.

You might not be a conservative kid like me but even if you disagree you need to stand up for what you believe in. Don’t let stupid adult politicians Republican, Democrat, Independent or any other party push us around. You might be a kid like me but you probably have some good ideas. Do like me and let people know what you think.

You can express your opinions at Kids Speak for America even if you disagree with me. Maybe you would like to write articles and have them posted. You can do that by contacting me. Maybe you just want to make comments on articles that are posted and you can do that by just writing your comment after the article and pushing send.

If you disagree with me on something I wrote I might argue with you and try to get you to see things the way I see them, is that a big deal? I think it is a bigger deal to not do anything about it and just go along with people just because our parents or teachers agree with them.
