"More than two years after departing Afghanistan as a fighting force, the Marine Corps may be sending troops back into the country in an advisory capacity. Maj. Gen. John Love, commander of the 2nd Marine Division, in recent months said that an element of the Camp Lejeune-based unit would be deploying to Afghanistan in the spring. "There is change in the air," Love said at a Marine Corps Association and Foundation awards event in November. "There is a new mission we've picked up in the Marine Corps. We are going to repurpose the infantry regiments against a new mission back in some familiar territory in Afghanistan, a province we've been to before and a location we've been to before."…"

Why … we already have 10,000 US troops there now ? Sounds like more of a waste of $$$$ and hopefully not to much more US blood. A'stan is just no worth it, IMO … |

Unless we take the gloves off our troops then pull them out. |

Got to make it look like something is being done. A "dog and pony" show by another name. Perhaps, instead, we could adopt the more economical German model of sending a single trainer there, to show our "commitment" to the region. |

No matter what the US/West does, nothing will ever change in A'stan or much of the surrounding region. Anytime soon if ever. They simply "like" living in their very violent factionalized past. Especially once you get beyond Kabul. And I'm not too sure about that either. |

Wait ,you mean bringing "democracy " to a country doesn't guarantee the peace? |

Nope … it seems the only ones who believed that were/are the politicians. To many in the world, the "gift" of democracy is not what they want from the US. Only money and more money and some more after that. And they do little with that money in the name of democracy. |

A recent report stated only @ 8400 US troops are in A'stan. |
