Army Gen. Scott Miller, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, stepped down from his post in Kabul on Monday, another sign of the military s departure from the country after nearly 20 years. Many foreign policy experts have raised concerns, however, about the threat of the Taliban s expansion and what the future for Afghan women will look like if the government falls.
