 Mattis Gets OK to Send More Troops to Afghanistan
Military.com | 14 Jun 2017 | by Richard Sisk

Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said Wednesday he now has the authority to send several thousand more U.S. troops to Afghanistan, adding that a plan on how and when to deploy them should be ready next month.

Mattis said President Donald Trump on Tuesday "delegated to me the authority to set troop levels in Afghanistan. We will define the way ahead, and I will set the military commitment" in concert with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson under a new strategy to shore up the Afghan defense forces and the Kabul government.

Agreed, Fred.
Sending them will prove a waste of time, money… and young blood.

Let it -- and everyone in it -- rot in the sun.
