army has made great progress, but most of the people i talk to in the pentagon will tell you that the army needs at least two, maybe even three more years before they re trained well enough to stand on their feet, and the afghan police probably need even more time than that. so as dave petraeus has said several times, we ve made great progress, but progress is fragile, jon. jon: senator john mccain and others have advocated, you know, have said if you re going to withdraw troops, make it a relatively small number, and don t start pulling out the front line fighting units. it is possible from a military standpoint to pull out troops and not necessarily hurt your fighting force all that much. that s absolutely true, jon. i think we need to move away from focusing on numbers and think about the types of units that they re contemplating pulling out. most people i talk to will tell you, please, don t move out the combat brigades because if you do that, then you leave holes or you leave a
