We've been killing terrorists there for the past 16 years......this is a continuation of a strategy he previously said was a failed strategy. What's new here?

I didn't hear the same strategy. I hear a lot of people misquoting him. He wasn't silent on troop levels, he said conditions on the ground would dictate that. Previous strategy was to tell the enemy what we were doing. When we were coming and going. Not a smart strategy. I was in Iraq when the previous administration stated we were pulling half our troops out at once. Very comforting to be a part of. And listening to your military leadership is a novel idea.

He should have said we're leaving Afghanistan and never returning. So far all Trump has done is backtrack on what he said he was going to do.

Good comments. We have wasted lives and money there. Because the previous administrations play politics with boots on the ground. If he lets them do their job, then he's right in line with what he has promised. To listen to his military leadership. Congress is the group that has backtracked, and became cowards.
