As I begin my reading of the book War by; Sebastian Junger many pro con issuesare emerging. War is a book about an Army Platoon in the Korengal Valley, fighting against the Taliban. Some cons are that the Taliban use innocent civilians to sheild them, causing the soldiers to have a very tough time shooting the enemy. However more obvious reasons some people are against this war are because, sometimes scouts see Taliban movement near local villages, causing the Army to bomb that area sometimes killing civilians. Another very controversial issue is that the Taliban are very illusive and ghost like, this causes the military to push further into the valley, making them very deep in enemy territory. All this movement is happening at the expense of American lives, making some wounder if this war is really worth all these deaths. Although some people may favor the con side on this issue they must also acknowlege the pros. We are fighting to kill the very people who are constantly attacking us and want to kill all "infidels". Americans are risking their lives to make sure we are never attacked again like the day we were on September 11, 2001.
