Soon you will realize there aren't many jobs out there for you in this country. Jobs have gone overseas to China, Vietnam, India, Mexico and other developing countries while you're busy fighting for George W Bush's Biblical mission.Afghanistan, waste of time, effort, money and lives. NOTHING will change. Once the US leaves and it will eventually have to it will go right back to the way it was. It's a barren wasteland with only a few fertile valleys which are used to grow opium in which various tribes fight over. You can't change the mindset of a country over a decade which has been the same for centuries.Very simple it is time to get out.
