A White House Deputy said that this was one of the many sacrifices the troops and their families are making, and that while the troops are fighting for good, the Taliban offers only bad. A few Taliban members said they would lay down their arms and rejoin the Afghanistan government in order to bring peace, but it’s still unsure.
