Tony Tata: I Think Trump Will Honor General Nicholson’s Request for More Troops in Afghanistan

‘About 4,000 to train the Afghan national army and police and the governance of Afghanistan’

EXCERPT:

TATA: "I think what the President is going to say, Brian, is he is going to look at the success that we are seeing in Iraq and Syria. He is a commander-in-chief who has given authority to his commanders on the ground, loosened the rules of engagement. We have accelerating success there. He is going to look over at Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan and say, 'Well, can the same strategy work here?' It’s infinitely harder there with harder terrain, less infrastructure, barer country, etc., but I think what we will see is him honor General Nicholson’s request for more troops."
