    At least if he is committing to more troops there is a plan to go with it. Surge helped us in Iraq and im sure it will do the same here. Mattis doing work

    Your brain stem is gone now. All that resides in that empty space in your head is a failed ideology and blind hate.

    Sending more Joe's in the line of fire without a clear objective is not one I can support. If we want to win do what's necessary otherwise get out.

    I hope your right Shane but I doubt anyone in DC will do put together what you and I consider an acceptable plan.

    There is a major difference in 13k marines who can shoot first and ask questions later and 40K hands up dont shoot marines.

    Trump's policy is little different than W's or Barry's and will continue to bleed our army and our wealth to no good end. When we first invaded in 2001 many military wanted to leave as soon as possible. Unfortunately we screwed getting to Osama bin Laden and stayed. Destroying OBL and his Al Quida terrorists morphed into saving Afghanistan. Now no matter what path we take we will pay dearly for. This article explains it well. https://www.cato.org/publications/commentary/trumps-massive-afghanistan-mistake

    We should just get out. There is no way to win in Afghanistan unless you destroy the whole country and kill everybody in it.
