Trump has decided to send more troops to Afghanistan in an effort to turn that war around. Personally, I doubt that will matter much. We have already been there for about 16 years, and we're no closer to winning it than when Bush was president. In fact, I'm not even sure what winning would look like, or what our goals are in that country.
Only 37% of the public believes we can win the Afghan War, while 40% now believe that is not possible (and 23% don't know). If less than four out of 10 people believe we can win, why do we continue to sacrifice American (and innocent Afghan) lives?
