200 000 and 2500 dead
For what?
Both are losing battles according to US intelligence report they have inspired not put down terrorism not to talk about the down slide of US image in the world. So the mission unaccomplished.
Afganistan opium production 5 times more than when US came in. Taliban army 10 times stronger (US report) So the mission unaccomplished.
Now US and NATO groups control less than 5 % of each country.
Send more, maybe 2 000 000 would help?
Cost now 6 billion dollars = 25 years education budget more in ?

This is what I know.
Afghanistan twice the size of Iraq has LESS military presence than Iraq. Afghanistan which is almost the size of Texas has fewer military presence than the NYC's police, meaning there are more police in New York than U.S. boots on the ground in Afghanistan. In 1992-94, there were 24,000 U.S. troops in Somalia for a "HUMANITARIAN" efforts, and NOT WAR. But when it comes to WAR in Afghanistan and Iraq, there are fewer number of soldiers.

Not sure of your question. How many individuals - many have served 2-3 deployments. Total deployments? What does it matter? We would all like them home, none more than those of us with family. Like all my family members though, not before the job is done.
