More U.S. troops might turn the tide of war in Afghanistan

By: Ahmad Shah Katawazai, April 30, 2017

Editor's note: The following is an opinion piece. The writer is not employed by Military Times, and the views expressed here do not necessarily represent those of Military Times or its editorial staff.

Though ISIS has failed to control big chunks of land in Afghanistan, the terror group continues to be a potent threat. It is continuously trying to gain a foothold in the area while launching deadly, destabilizing attacks in Kabul. America launched its war in Afghanistan in October 2001 with the goal of ensuring the region was never again used as a haven for terrorism.

No they won't.

Unless we're willing to commit to 40 divisions, and take over the country with a military government for twenty or thirty more years...
