Motivator

The terror attacks on September 11, 2001 set in motion the direct involvement of American troops in Afghanistan. In the prelude leading to Operation Enduring Freedom, many examined the history of Afghanistan, specifically the Soviet-Afghan War, and reached the conclusion that the United States would ultimately meet the same fate as the Soviets. While OEF has been successful thus far in dislodging the Taliban and denying Al Qaida safe haven, the war torn nation of Afghanistan has yet to be stabilized. Also recall that the Soviets were also initially successful before encountering a dedicated resistance in the Mujahadeen. The critical task the US must accomplish in order to prevent history from repeating itself is ensure the support of the Afghan people. One thing that US military personnel can do to minimize the cultural differences between the Afghan people and US military personnel is to learn about the people living there to include their values and beliefs. Successfully doing so will reduce the possibility of misunderstanding and miscommunication and make the presence of American personnel on their soil easier to bear.
