President Trump received glowing praise Thursday from Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani for the new war strategy, which was credited for turning around the 16-year war against Taliban militants and other radical Islamic terrorists.
President Trump has really turned out to be an excellent Commander in Chief with a much improved foreign policy than other presidents of past decades. With 20 different terrorist groups in Afghanistan describing it as a hive that must be destroyed supports his decision not to pull out of the country. We need to pull the wings off these insects before we leave.
Please, Trump hasn't done a damn thing different than what Obama did with Afghanistan.
Well the number one thing that was HUUUGE is that Trump has no fear of identifying the enemy for what they are, ISIS. They are all Radical Islamists that hold up the Koran as evidence that their terrorism is righteous.
Why did Obama refuse to call them what they are?
Talking tough and letting our soldiers do the job they are there to accomplish and they don't need to dance around politics that hindered them is HUUUGE!

Oh please. The president of Afghanistan is being propped up by the U.S. If the U.S. pulled out, as Trump promised during his campaign, then the Afghanistan government would be toppled in 30 days.
One thing Trump did was tell his warriors your new rules of engagement is kill them before they kill you
Obama’s Rules of Engagement Have US Soldiers Fighting a Two-Fronted War in Afghanistan
US soldiers in Afghanistan are now forced to fight a two-fronted war. Before each deployment, these soldiers understand fully that day after day they will do battle against relentless terrorists with shifting loyalties and unspeakable hatred. However, what none of them could have foreseen was the killing field that would open from their rear...the Continental United States.
Our government's incessant tightening of already restrictive Rules of Engagement, compounded by the failed COIN (Counterinsurgency) strategy—also known as "winning hearts and minds," has made an otherwise primitive enemy formidable.
Our best and brightest come home in body bags as politicians and lawyers dine over white linen tablecloths; writing, modifying, and re-modifying these lethal rules…rules that favor the enemy rather than the American soldier. Rules so absurd they're difficult to believe until you hear the same stories over and again from those returning from battle.
In a delicate discussion with an Army Ranger who recently left the military, we heard the following: "I had to get out. I have a family who needs me. I didn't join to be sacrificed. I joined to fight." This decision came shortly after he lost a close friend to the Rules of Engagement. He went on to explain: the Taliban had attempted an ambush on his friend's squad, but quickly realized they were in a battle they couldn't win and began retreating. While chasing them, the US soldiers were ordered not to engage due to the slight chance the Taliban had laid down their arms as they ran through some type of shack. While arguing with leadership at the JOC (Joint Operations Center) his friend was shot and killed.http://freedomoutpost.com/obamas-rul...r-afghanistan/

Exactly.
Time to pack it up and come home.
