That is a very statement that can be argued forever!
The Afghan war is proving to be one of the longest conflicts in the history of the United States.
It is burden on the economy and is seen as a geopolitical threat to many.
A lot of United States congress members have tried to sugar-coat the Military presence as a source of good and safety for Afghan women.
The theory being, Americans are helping the 'helpless' Afghan women.
However, if you consider the number of people killed, the children who have died in drone strikes, the weddings hit by missiles and the families destroyed,forever, maybe the presence is doing worse than what most people would want to admit.
