It was supposed to reduce from 9,500 to 5,000 at the end of 2016 and President Obama balked.
Really, it needs to be a permanent rotation in the vein of Korea, Kuwait, or Kosovo.

Either bomb them under they're gone or get out...stop pussy footing around.

Disappointed in the decision.

Not enough.
If going back in, need to go all in.

Maybe more troops can speed up the process because if we remain as is we will be there forever. Let's see what he has to say first

Why are we increasing troops in Afghanistan?

Hmm
4000 is a completely insignificant number

Let’s get out of Afghanistan. Our troops are being killed by the Afghanis we train and we waste billions there. Nonsense! Rebuild the USA.

What an awful decision, if this turns out to be his choice. There is no victory left for us there. It's been almost two decades.... Sounds like the military industrial complex and the warmongers in congress got their wish.
ETA: but we'all "hold Pakistan responsible". Yea right. We aren't going to bomb them, or anything else militarily. It will be as toothless as all of the other times we have tried to pressure countries in that region to knock off the terror funding. None of which have ever worked.

How much is this going to cost??
Posted on 8/21/17 at 5:43 pm to DavidTheGnome
If the answer is more than $0.00, then it's too damn high. The price tag on this stupid, endless, goalless conflict should get someone indicted.
