For us. Political analysts predicted President Trump would announce an increase in the number of troops in afghanistan from the current level of 8,000 to 12,000. Instead the president said its time to take drastic measures in our strategy with afghanistan and shift the focus from creating democracy to killing terrorists. Terrorists, take heed. America will never let up until you are dealt a lasting defeat. Trump said tonight the middle east policies of past president s didnt work and its time for a change. We will not talk about numbers of troops or our plans for further military activities. His focus will be on stopping terrorists and abandoning the idea of nation building in the middle east. He said pakistan is turning a blind eye to terrorist hideouts and its time to hold the countrys feet to fire through whatever means necessary. Pakistan often gives safe haven to agents of chaos, violence and terror. We watched the president s address with retired marine corps colonel brendan kerney to get his reaction to the president s plan to win the war in afghanistan.

Another facet of the president s plan, give military leaders on the front lines more authority to do whats necessary to get the job done, something colonel kerney said would be a welcome change. The standard thing among our group between military professionals was that you couldnt get decisions in a timely manner that had relevance to what you were trying to accomplish over there. The colonel says the president didnt come up with the strategy alone. It was obvious he had help from the secretary of defense and state and joint chiefs of staff. This has jim mattis and joe dunford and tillerson has their fingerprints all over it.
