War Is Over If You want It

++Today marks the formal end to our 13-year war in Afghanistan. The small ceremony marked the end of the war at the NATO headquarters in Kabul.

++Under President Obama the US military peaked to 140,000. We suffered 3,500 dead. 

++Now the US is there under the slogan "Resolute Support". We will have 11,000-13,000 armed forces there with an expanded mission that includes going after Al Qaeda and groups suspecting of giving support to ISIS. 

++The mission has expanded from providing support to the Afghan army to actively engaging in armed conflicts with "terrorists". The Afghan army now stands at 350,000 but has complained already about the lack of pay and supplies. 

++The Guardian of London marked the end of the conflict by saying that Britain proved it was no longer a reliable ally of the United States because American forces had to bail the Brits out on the last two major battles.
