Where is the peace?

Originally, Canadian troops were sent to Afghanistan in order to maintain and bring peace. Canada and it’s army has been recognized as taking peaceful engagements all around the world to help countries in need of their help, in the most part. But this missions has taken a rougher turn. Unfortunately, many civilians trying to struggle to get their country back on the right track have died or been imprisoned for it. Canadian troops try to help but this conflict is getting major. Too many lives have been taken innocently and Canadians at home argue about whether or not our troops should stay. The violence of the combats is starting to aggravate. Bombs are shot out from both parties constantly. This is going too far. While time goes by, the bigger the problem gets and the further Canadian troops drift away from the initial goal of their mission in Afghanistan, it being to bring back order in the country. Many Afghans have been killed, thinking it would help attain peace, but in the end it has only brought worse problems. Families have been destroyed and soldiers have died. Canadian parents are anxiously waiting for their children
