In October 2001 Allied forces started a war on the taliban in Afghanistan. Almost 10 years later those allied forces are still there. Trying to rebuild a country, mould it into a democracy, keep the Taliban at bay and help future generations have a better life. Fighting still goes on and IEDs are a daily occurence. In short; Whatever you may think of the war, a soldier's life in Afghanistan is not an easy one.

38 A Chinook helicopter lands to pick up U.S. soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division following a night raid in Yahya Khel, Paktika province February 21, 2011. The night raid is a controversial tactic that has been stepped up dramatically since General David Petraeus took over running the Afghan war last year, despite strong opposition led by President Hamid Karzai. Petraeus says the pressure on suspected insurgents and their networks has brought a new dynamic to a near-decade-old war. Critics argue it is fuelling violence because poor intelligence means dozens of innocent people are killed or detained. Although more than 80 percent of recent raids ended without a shot being fired, violence escalates fast when it does break out, with 600 people killed on operations in the three-month period.
