When should U.S. troops leave Afghanistan?
When should U.S. troops leave Afghanistan?
JACKY STEINBRENNER, Huber Heights: “I’m afraid if they pull out, everything that’s going on over there will just continue. And we’ve got an awful lot of troops over there. But I don’t think it should be in the next year or two. Maybe in 2013.”
RANDOLPH KORAM, Centerville: “They should begin coming back at the end of the summer. They need troops over there right now, but I’m hoping that will change.”
CATRINA CONLEY, Fairborn: “When we have confirmation that Osama Bin Laden is dead.”
SRINI RAMANUJAM, Woodbridge, N.J.: “Only if the job is done. No. 1 would be to ensure the poppy fields are destroyed and the farmers are given alternative means of income. Second would be implementing a proper infrastructure. Lastly, Democratic institutions need to be strengthened.”
STEPHEN BROOKOVER, New Carlisle: “When the job’s done. There’s that one area of northwest Pakistan that probably needs cleaned out, whether Pakistanis like it or not.”
CELESTE BOXELL, Wright-Patterson AFB: “When our mission is complete. We should listen to our commanders, our generals that are on the ground.”
DREW KERNS, Waynesville: “They should begin the withdrawal by the end of the summer. I think they’ve done enough over there now that they could start withdrawing troops.”
