US president apologises to Afghans
I have seen and perhaps everybody would also endorse my observation that the Americans are very proud of their soldiers and irrespective of party affiliations (whether Democrat or Republican), they hold a special position for the armed forces personnel in their hearts. They leave no occasion to greet and congratulate the US Armed Forces' contributions for retaining and upholding national dignity and prestige.
But unfortunately, some of the US Armed Forces members often bring dishonour and humiliation to home for their ugly acts. I am talking about the recent heinous and condemnable act of burning copies of the holy Quran by the American troops in Afghanistan. This irresponsible act humiliated their president before the world. The US President Barack Obama has apologised to the Afghan people for the act the US troops have done calling it a genuine mistake.
The armed forces' personnel are well disciplined; they are not supposed to do any such thing that is usually done by the people of extreme thoughts. In my opinion, the US government should withdraw those personnel who were involved in the irresponsible and heinous act.
