The Last Marines in Afghanistan Cease Combat Operations

++The Marines Expeditionary Brigade,the last unit in Afghanistan,officially ended their combat mission in Helmand Province on Sunday. The final British troops are packing up and heading home. This ends 13 years of combat, which will terminate on January 1, when a small training force will remain in the country. Normally,this would be an occasion to cheer except that the news of ISIS and the collapse of Iraq put a damper on the occasion.
