When I returned from the service in the sixties after 4 years, I had seen very limited battle action. Most of my activity had been routine but I'll spare you the details of the other things. All I can say is I was lucky. Still I had a hard time adjusting to civilian life. How incredibly hard it must be then for these soldiers when they return, if they return and in one piece. As a nation we should be disturbed by what these men and women have to go through and we should be demanding a withdrawal now. Personally I feel ashamed that I can do very little except complain or just protest. Why are we continuing to be engaged in Afghanistan? It is nine years. Let's cut our losses and leave and let's fix this country!
