Brandon Friedman wrote this news story about how he had served in the military overseas while envisioning a career in an office behind a desk. Throughout his services this was always a fantasy of his. After retiring from the military he and four others ended up working Brandon's ideal career. While sitting in the office one day just gossiping the news announced that by the end of the year all troops would sent home, and that mail postmarked after November 17th, 2011 would not be sent to the troops due to the end of the war and soldiers being brought home. Brandon goes on to explain that he was there when the mail started coming and that he couldn't believe it was finally ending after all these years.
This is a very touching article. So many veterans of war and soldiers alike have been praying for this day to come. I just really hope that the President goes through with it this time and that these soldiers get to come home to their families and friends. They have been waiting for this for so long and I would be very sad if this doesn't go through. I like many others have friends and family members overseas, and would be so relieved if they were to be sent home safely and not have to worry about this war any more. I'm just not sure that even if they are sent home that this war will be entirely over. The enemy may see this as a victory for themselves and continue terrorist attacks on America. Which in turn would lead us into another war and cause anger and sadness nation wide. I really hope that this is for real this time, for every one's sake.
