It would be a mistake of epic proportions to leave Afghanistan where Afghanistan would revert to worse than pre-911 conditions and Taliban would end up in control not just partial they had pre 911.. I can't believe leaving is even under consideration let alone being implemented. It's actually a mistake to not support and nurture the Afghan Army and Police more with training, logistics, close air support, etc but it seems America and NATO all but given up this fight years ago and are whining about 18 years commitment, forgetting we are still in Germany and Japan to keep the peace.
