We already went back on doing this about 4-6 weeks ago it seems but this is in the news... so, maybe it will happen.

US to announce 4,000-troop drawdown from Afghanistan: Report

The Trump administration will announce as early as this week plans to withdraw around 4,000 troops from Afghanistan, US media reported.

Talks between the United States and the Taliban resumed a week ago as the parties sought a path to reduce violence or even reach a ceasefire.

They were paused by Washington on Thursday, however, after an attack by the militant group near a key US air base north of Kabul that left two civilians dead and dozens injured.

They also had an insider attack in the past 2 days where AFGHANISTAN TROOPS (NOT Americans) were killed.

Also, here is an interesting story on a female pilot who has since fled Afghanistan. Apparently, being a pilot brought her lots of criticism but if one is interested in that area of the world, it is a good read. She lives in the USA and I'd say is attractive.
