the reason that so many women in Afghanistan are still wearing their burqas...

Hey, Tx...my understanding is that many women are still afraid. Afraid that the Americans will leave, the Taliban who are lurking in the shadows will resume power, and they'll be punished for disobeying the extremist laws. They're glad we're there, but they still don't trust that we're not just going to pull out and leave them at the mercy of the Islamofascists once more. Sad, isn't it? I'm so thankful to have been born an American.

Thank you for the answer....well, bless their hearts...I guess I don't blame them..

I am still haunted by the videos of them kneeling at the 50 yd line at a soccer field and being executed.

I just pray that what your husband and the other troops have done and will continue to do, will make it so at least their daughters may never have to wear those hideous things...

Again..thank you.
