Should the United States pull all military troops out of Afghanistan?

Should the UK pull all military troops out of Afghanistan?

The UK and coalition forces invaded Afghanistan in 2001 after the September 11 terror attacks. After the attacks, U.S. intelligence officials determined that the Afghani-based militant organization Al-Qaeda was responsible. In 2001 90% of Afghanistan was controlled by the Sunni Islamic military organization The Taliban. After the Taliban refused requests by U.S. President George W. Bush to dismantle Al-Qaeda coalition forces launched military operations known as Operation Enduring Freedom. As of June 27, 2019 456 troops from the U.K. died in the conflict.

Yes, but slowly and only when the country has been stabilized

 @8WMN8P9Greenanswered…5yrs5Y

Yes but only after we fix the mess we caused.

 @8WJPVM7Greenanswered…5yrs5Y

Yes - Including Afghani nationals who played an integral role in helping the UKs position

 @8TM88WQGreenanswered…5yrs5Y

yes, war is unnecessary

 @8T65DKTGreenanswered…5yrs5Y

We should ask the Afghans what they want. We shouldn’t be there, but we are, and leaving will cause problems. You can’t gatecrash a party and then leave without helping to tidy up.

 @8SGN2F4Greenanswered…5yrs5Y

No, this would add to political chaos in an unstable country which we made unstable

 @8SFVYL2Greenanswered…5yrs5Y

In time, though a full withdraw would need to come with aid to top it falling into the hands of terrorists.

 @8SFM2GVGreenanswered…5yrs5Y
