Key in that sentence: "Obama sent". I have read books by those who have fought in Afghanistan, one by a Navy Seal. Obama sent troops and then wouldn't let them kill anyone except under very narrow conditions. Observers were on patrol with the troops to make sure if they used their weapons that 'terrorists' had fired first or were seen with weapons. In one situation, two known terrorists were allowed to get away because no weapons were seen - they came back with a village of terrorists to engage the Americans. When you have to call a "WH General" (the likes of Rhodes, Jarrett, Rice, Omuslim) to get permission to kill the enemy, you won't "win" regardless of how many troops are in country.
Until the MSM start in on civilian casualties etc etc
