The United States and coalition forces invaded Afghanistan in 2001 after the September 11 terror attacks. After the attacks, U.S. intelligence officials determined that the Afghani-based militant organization Al-Qaeda was responsible. In 2001 90% of Afghanistan was controlled by the Sunni Islamic military organization The Taliban. After the Taliban refused requests by U.S. President George W. Bush to dismantle Al-Qaeda the U.S. launched military operations known as Operation Enduring Freedom. As of June 27, 2019 2,419 U.S. troops have died in the conflict.
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, but the total withdrawal of our military troops should be done gradually over a two-year period
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, but it needs an actual plan to get out, by implementing a better exit strategy without hurting allies and people that relied on us during that time.
@8Y2PZNR2yrs2Y
No, the US should put more troops into Afghanistan to wipe out the Taliban, Al-Queda, and ISIS as well as other national threats

Yes, but it needs an actual plan to get out and implement a better exit strategy without hurting allies and people that relied on us during that time.

Yes, but it needs an actual plan to get out and should be done with a better exit strategy without hurting allies and people that relied on us during that time.
@8XTW3QC2yrs2Y
Yes, but the execution of the Biden administration was very poor
Deleted2yrs2Y

@8XPV4DF2yrs2Y
No, leave some and ensure the safety of citizens there
@8XQ89Y52yrs2Y
US troops should have returned all the weapons to the US first, then returned home to the US
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, but it needs an actual plan to get out and we should have had a better exit strategy without hurting allies and people that relied on us during that time.
@8XMFN982yrs2Y
Yes, but only after Taliban is fully defeated
@8XD6BY62yrs2Y
Yes, but slowly and efficiently so we don’t create a waste of the war
@8XHQX3N2yrs2Y
Yes, but in an effective manner that doesn't allow such a huge power vacuum
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, because its original mission should have been done and dusted within 6 or 12 months after the 2001 invasion.
@8XD66GW2yrs2Y
yes but keep a few that just started to finish their tour and patch things up if they need to
@8XCY6NR2yrs2Y
@8XCJY2Y2yrs2Y
Yes, but only after all Americans and American allies are out.
@8X3KQBN2yrs2Y
No, the United States should help to establish a democratic leadership for Afghanistan so the Taliban doesn't immediately take over and hurt Afghanistan citizens.
@JWeissflog3yrs3Y
Yes , but make sure all the bases and equipment left behind is destroyed before pulling the troops out.
@8WRR7YQ3yrs3Y
Yes, but keep a small number of troops in the country instead of pulling all.
@8WRGD393yrs3Y
NO! Thats going to increase terrorist attacks.
@8WRG86Q3yrs3Y
Yes, however in a much more gradual and controlled manner
@8WPN6C23yrs3Y
when it is determined fairly safe to, get them out as soon as possible.
@8WP5BCC3yrs3Y
Yes but not all we can't just not help them anymore.
@8WPC6NZ3yrs3Y
Only put a small amount in places where it is most needed
@8WP9ZHD3yrs3Y
I believe if most of the troops are dying then yes, because what's the point of having them there if they aren't wining.
@8WND78J3yrs3Y
yes but they should have done it slowly so we didn't leave anything behind but we didn't
@8WCF5QP3yrs3Y
No, it was not appropriate to be there in the first place but now we are involved.
@8W82FZ53yrs3Y
If the soldiers want to leave, then they should have say in that.
@8W4DVY83yrs3Y
Yes, but leave enough to prevent a Taliban takeover
@8VZYRT63yrs3Y
No, because they do so much to help other people, but yes because those troops could go home with their families
Deleted3yrs3Y
No, not until all U.S. military leaders are confident the mission has been accomplished
@8VLZVR83yrs3Y
yes except the ones who are there to protect and aid people in need of help.
@8VCNMHN3yrs3Y
Yes, just not the way the Biden administration did, because that got some of our troops killed.
Deleted3yrs3Y
We should evacuate our military troops and the people of Afghanistan.
@8VCNN473yrs3Y
not until there have own military and are stable
@842VWLK3yrs3Y
yes, but make them come back if any further trouble happens against the US
@7B5WHFG3yrs3Y
yes, but with a tansition period to stabalize the Afghan government
@2YY67273yrs3Y
Yes, as long as it is a conditional withdrawal
@8V79PTF3yrs3Y
Yes, but there needs to be a plan in place such that ALL Americans return safely, and equipment is retrieved or destroyed.
@8V7792T3yrs3Y
The US should not have just left billions of dollars of equipment in afghanistan, and left soldiers there to die and we didn't even fight back against Taliban.
@8V5VRFP3yrs3Y
have some like other countries have
@6VWJ8PP3yrs3Y
Yes, but only after adequately arming the Afghan government for a peaceful transition
@8TVSNS63yrs3Y
I'm glad we withdrew from Afghanistan. I just wish the procedure was done better
@8TVYZQL3yrs3Y
No, we should gradually pull out of the country rather than abruptly leave.
@8S2LJ243yrs3Y
No, and provide more financial aid to Afghanistan
@8TTTTNL3yrs3Y
Keep the soldiers there, but don't add any more
