Eight more United State soldiers were killed on
Saturday near the Pakistan border. Officials have told reporters that it was one of the deadliest assaults on the U.S. in the past year and one of the fiercest battles in the eight-year war. More and more soldiers die each day when it is not needed. The terrorist attacks occured 8 years ago and it has been dragging on way too long. Although there were many enemy casualties, there were eight to many U.S. casualties. The United States army used heavy artillery during the battle. This war seriously just needs to end and all of our troops need to come home for good. There are families losing loved ones each day and even though there fighting for our freedom and country, some troops have been there to long and deserve to come home. These families need their fathers, mothers, husbands, wives, daughters, sons, and relatives to come home.
