WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said on Monday the United States would send over 3,000 troops to Afghanistan and that most were either on their way or had been notified of their deployment.

“It is exactly over 3,000 somewhat and frankly I haven’t signed the last of the orders right now as we look at specific, small elements that are going,” Mattis told reporters.

Reuters previously reported that the United States would send about 3,500 additional troops to Afghanistan.

2. Just like Vietnam...the west can't win this. Watching the series on Vietnam currently running on

PBS and it is uncanny the similarities of stupid they did back then that we are doing today.

I spans across many Presidency's then just as it does now.

4. I know, I had the same impression.

It's the same situation, same stupid American hubris. It's never going to stop because this time they know to keep it out of the public eye.
