With the Marines and British leaving Afghanistan, where do you think they are going next? I bet it's Iraq.

I have a sneaking suspicion the Marines, and maybe the British Forces will be going to Iraq or Syria next. What do you think?

U.S. Marines Leave Afghanistan, Along With British Force

The coalition base in southern Helmand Province was first established nearly 6 years ago. For Britain, the day brought an end to 13 years of military operations in Afghanistan.

Col Private RallyPoint Member, there may be something to that, but not directly, right? I think after the November election, if our strategy of bombing and coalition forces providing ground forces does not prove to be more effective, we may have to put American boots on that ground (Iraq and Syria).

I can't imagine that happening before November 4th, but that's only two weeks (nine days, I guess) away.
