We will always have some small scale operations in that part of the world, but full blown military presence I think we should be scaled back to near none.
I totally agree and think this will happen soon. Of course we need to keep some operations there and in the surrounding region.
I bet the US will want to keep our military in certain areas, to continue protecting the Poppy fields.
No, well yes, but to ensure that US troops will always be in the brush fire, get entangled in a conflict, so the US can use the justification of force as desired.
If Obama had negotiated a surrender, there would be no need for Trump to do it now.
Who says anyone is negotiating a surrender? Do you even know what "surrender" means?
I ask again, since you are such a vocal proponent of combat, please tell everyone your combat history and service history? Have you ever made any effort to be involved, even as a contractor?

2440 troops are dead. 20k plus were wounded. 1700 contractors have been killed. Basically, we’ve got absolutely NOTHING to show for these statistics.
The bean counters of the MIC would likely disagree.
Don't know; don't care. We had no business being there in the first place. Get out now. And put Bill Kristol, Perle, Wolfowitz, and all the rest of the PNACers in prison.
We agree on something. Those *******s are just dripping in blood.
And plenty of people around the world knew exactly how this would end. No surprise whatever.
