We need to understand that we don't need to treat Afghanistan any different than we do the rest of the world. The reality is we have the very best fighting force in the world. We have been highly successful, but let's understand that bringing our troops home is something we should all be proud of. What we are failing to do right now, what this administration is failing to do--nobody has ever defined success, nobody has ever defined success. Let's bring our troops home.
