If I understand rightly, after 16 years of an unwinable US WAR and all the other shit that has been going on in Afghan since the Great Game of the Brits over a century ago, we now know what to do and that's not getting out.

I just heard the illustrious ex-General Jack Keane, revered by all parties, that the addition of 4,000 troops will finally show the Taliban that we are serious and they will rethink their position.

Hoo Rah!
