US troops begin leaving Afghanistan under Taliban peace deal

American troops have begun pulling out of Afghanistan as part of a peace agreement between the United States and the Taliban.

The U.S. is reducing its troop presence in the country from 13,000 to 8,600, as required by the deal, and has started shipping hundreds of soldiers out of the Middle East, officials announced Monday.

"In accordance with the U.S.-Islamic Republic of Afghanistan Joint Declaration and the U.S.-Taliban Agreement, U.S. Forces Afghanistan (USFOR-A) has begun its conditions-based reduction of forces to 8,600 over 135 days," U.S. Forces Afghanistan spokesman Col. Sonny Leggett said.

"USFOR-A maintains all the military means and authorities to accomplish our objectives—including conducting counterterrorism operations against al-Qaeda and ISIS-K and providing support to the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces," he added. "USFOR-A is on track to meet directed force levels while retaining the necessary capabilities."

You don't have to like it. An essential part of military service is going where you're told to go and doing what you're told to do. Anyone that's ever been in the military knows that. It's made very clear to you right up front even before you raise your hand and take the oath. Apparently you don't so you never were.

Thank you George Washington.
