I don't think the war in Afghanistan was ruthlessly enough waged.


Christopher Hitchens

Chris Van Hollen

The Afghan security forces will always have the help of the U.S. American military to ensure that Afghanistan never fails.

That's driven by any number of factors, the most prominent of which have been the combat experience of two major campaigns - one in Afghanistan and the other in Iraq - and the ongoing demands of the global war on terrorism.

When an army unit returns from service in Iraq or Afghanistan, it barely gets a breather before it begins training for its next deployment.
