Can't imagine the pressure at the top in having to serve under this administration. I was wondering what scenario will play out in Afghanistan under the next administration. No candidate has mentioned Afghanistan as far as I have heard...guess I better search.

As for more details on the current situation there since obama tucked in his serpent tail and left...

They already have everything they need and wanted, and it appears to be working rather well for them.

While the number of troops may be a factor, the rules of engagement pose the major problems. I certainly hope that General Nicholson points that out.

That being said, we should have been out of that unwinnable morass yesterday.

This fall will end 15 years there. The idiots want to keep the meatgrinder going another few decades cot the defense industry.
We have already spent 3 times the length of WWII there. It should be obvious that there is no pan to “win” there.
And B that they will never be civilized as long as we respect islam.

It will fall the day we leave.

than officials had expected.

The Obama officials sure seem blindsided by their expectations, on everything.

“just tell us how many troops you need, and we’ll make it happen.”

Another Trump effect.
