Army chief supports increased force presence in Afghanistan and Iraq

By: Jen Judson, June 7, 2017

Now, one week past a bombing in Kabul that left 150 people dead, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., asked the chief, looking toward the next decade, if he would support an increase in troop presence in Afghanistan as an interim solution.
