The mightiest army in the world should be able to walk all over a puny country like Afghanistan
Mattis was given 6 months to get a job done, and didn’t do it.
How long should Trump wait?
“Afghanistan” has an army with many soldiers having almost 15 years of combat experience.
It is my understanding that Mattis wanted the US to help fund these soldiers.
Afghanistan doesn’t have the tax base to support its military needs.
That would be true if the enemy were the "nation' of Afghanistan instead of hit-and-run, fanatical terrorists who look like any other Afghani.
