Apparently, according to the latest news released by the officials in Afghanistan, it seems that the army morale has taken a huge beating, whereby troops are seeing a record in violence in the 8-year old war. Although the US soldiers in Iraq are doing much better when compared to Afghanistan, the mental health for soldiers based in Afghanistan is deteriorating fast.
On the other hand, a survey also showed that soldiers that are being inflicted with depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress have doubled since 2005. The figures showed that 10.4 percent in 2005, 23.4 percent in 2007 and finally 21.4 percent in 2009.
Personally, I think that the war has taken a huge toll on the army which is based in Afghanistan. With militant insurgents on the rise, soldiers are probably thinking that there wouldn’t be any end to the current war.
Do you think that the US troops will be victorious in Afghanistan, or would they suffer yet another military blunder, such as the one in Vietnam?
