That will be the official name of our work in Afghanistan next year. And there will be work. It seems that Obama is escalating our role in Afghanistan, at least through next year.
In May, Obama said that we would have no combat role in Afghanistan next year, and that the missions for the 9,800 troops remaining in the country would be limited to training Afghan forces and to hunting the “remnants of Al Qaeda.”
I guess he's changed his mind and now our troops will also carry out missions against the Taliban and other groups. Plus, our air force will not be quiet; it will be able to use our jets, bombers and drones to support Afghan troops on combat missions.
