When asked that question the first thing a senior Sociology and Law & Society major at Frostburg State University by the name of Makiha Cooper did was shake his head. "That's tough" is the first thing that came out of his mouth. He was on the fence with yes and no, but said if he had to choose one he would say no. He says that too many people are dying and it feels like nothing is being accomplished. He said that four years ago when he was a freshman at FSU, a friend of his back in his hometown of Baltimore lost a dear friend of hers due to the war. He said that this is probably his reason for leaning towards no.
Immediately after reading the question Dasha Harris looked up and directly in my eyes and answered "Yup!" The senior at Frostburg State University from the southwest area of Washington, DC explained that she feels that way because the United States need to help protect people who can't defend themselves. One of the Psychology major's final comments were, " The soldiers need to do something to earn their money anyway". She also compared the U.S. to being a nice tough guy because our country stands up to bullies for other people.
Travis Oliver, a graduate student at Frostburg State University had similar feelings as Dasha. He begin to relate the situation to his hometown in Baltimore. He feels like people who can't defend themselves should be helped. He has his undergraduate in Sociology and is in his first year as a graduate student going for a masters in Education. He claims that he is one that is all about the people and that's why he feels this way. He says, " In vice versa if it was the U.S. government doing us like the Afghanistan's government is doing them, he would want some other country to help us."
