Afghanistan

The U. S. military buildup in Afghanistan is beginning. Troops are arriving every day in an effort to bolster the 68,000 troops already there. At this point, it is still too early to say how this will affect morale. The pentagon has high hopes that the buildup will help us win the war. In addition to troops, the brass is sending in additional equipment as well.

The militaries already heavy use of drone aircraft is being increased. The drones allow us to keep an eye on the enemy. New advances in this equipment are helping to keep us better informed about enemy troop movements. I hope that the addition of troops on the ground and new equipment will allow us to make better headway in the war on terror.
