10 Years in Afghanistan: A Decade in Flickr Photos [PICS]

Currently, around 100,000 troops occupy Afghanistan. Around half of that number were deployed by President Obama in 2009.

However, as the occupation of Afghanistan becomes increasingly unpopular with citizens across the political spectrum, increasing pressure is on the President and his advisors to bring the troops home.

Here are some images posted to Flickr by the National Guard, the U.S. Army, and servicemen and women themselves. We hope all serving now in Afghanistan are able to make a safe and speedy return to their loved ones at home.
