Mr. President, I agree with those remarks and so does the 31st Commandant of the Marine Corps, my friend and unofficial adviser, General Chuck Krulak. As he said in a recent email to me, no one has ever conquered Afghanistan, and many have tried.
Jones agrees with Trump's views on Afghanistan and references General Krulak's insights on its history.

I wrote to President Trump, had it delivered on July the 18th. I wanted him, if he was going raise the troop levels in Afghanistan, to please come to Congress, ask Congress to meet its constitutional responsibility and have a debate.
I never will forget Donald Rumsfeld, the former Secretary of Defense, sitting where you are telling this committee that he will account for every dollar of the taxpayer.
If that is the American military, then I am sure George Washington would be very disappointed...
