Withdrawing the Troops

Social Similes: A Parody of Our World - Set 6 Volume 1

When the Americans entered the countries of Afghanistan and Iraq shortly after, many questioned the intentions of the war and the existence of a real definitive plan. The toppling of a Saddam Hussein statue was to be the symbol of the war in Iraq, but has been lost in the lack of direction in the war. And since, strong debate has existed back in Canada and the United States to withdraw troops. But now, after more than nine years in Afghanistan, a plan to start withdrawing troops from the war-torn nation of Afghanistan have leaked into the mainstream media.

The recent remarks by McChrystal is a secret military plan, coined Operations Desert (to abandon, not arid region) Storm, to get troops back home. The confusing name was designed to disguise itself because written language often can not distinguish between homonyms, but with a plural operation for the benefit of insiders. According to confidential documents, one by one, men and women serving overseas will be making more critical remarks against the President to media outlets like National Geographic, TIME, and BBC, starting with the man on top as a pilot. The remarks will be made approximately four days from one another, far enough to avoid suspicion, but close enough to create the illusion of military anger.

How secret is this plan though? The confidential memo never made it back to Washington and was never signed by the Commander-in-Chief, Obama. The highest on the pyramid to sign the document was McChrystal, a man now back home with his family and friends.

There are still nearly 120,000 Coalition troops in Afghanistan, with 78,430 of them from the United States and 2,830 from Canada. Sadly, most of these soldiers will not be around by the time their turn rolls around, since the plan will take over 850 years to complete, but it'll be a lot faster than waiting for peace in the Middle East.
