Trump says the US will draw down to around 4,000 troops in Afghanistan by the November election
 

Despite continued violence in Afghanistan, President Donald Trump has said the U.S. military will draw down to between 4,000 and 5,000 troops in the country by November.

“We’ll be down now in a very short period of time to 8,000; then we’re going to be down to 4,000,” Trump told Axios reporter Jonathan Swan in a recent interview. “We’re negotiating right now. We’ve been there for 19 years – 19 years.”

Trump said the drawdown to 4,000 troops in Afghanistan would be accomplished “very soon” but declined to say exactly when.

Bad mistake. That will leave too few of them left to withstand serious attacks by the Muslims,and you KNOW each Islamic "commander" wants to be the one known for "killing all the American soldiers in  Afghanistan.

I say "Pull them ALL out NOW!" It seems obvious we,as a nation,have no intention or lack the willinngness to want to beat them,so get the hell out NOW!

And learn a lesson from this. NEVER get invovled in any wars in the future you don't intend to win!

Agreed, Pete.
Get the ALL out of there, NOW.

If the Russians want to go back in, let them.
What is there worth caring about in Afghanistan?
