We (the armed forces of the USA) have been in Afghanistan for eight years! I am aware that our stated reason for going to Afghanistan was to seek out and capture or kill those responsible for the attacks of 9/11. I am aware that many military strategists then and now have argued that we diluted our efforts in Afghanistan by also going to war in Iraq (for some very flimsy reasons!)
What I am not so much aware of is why we would want to continue a military presence in Afghanistan. There will be many casualties...of American soldiers and Afghan citizens if we continue our efforts. What are the reasonably expected results of our staying? What current reason are we offering for our continued presence in this country?
I hope we decide to bring our men and women home. I do not expect that this will be the case.
