We have 9,000 troops still in Afghanistan but we are planning tens of thousands more to keep groups like the Taliban and Al Quaeda from growing and taking over areas we had "liberated". And now ISIS is present (within Afghanistan and not just from Pakistan). In Yemen, we are adding more troops and equipment to add to the Jets and weapons we are giving to Saudi Arabia to this war going on for years. We are supporting young Prince Mohamed, a positive progressive force.  In Somalia,we are now sending troops and arms to  Muhamad Abdullah Mohamed to fight Al Shabba and protect the massive oil resources there; In Iraq we are preparing to send a large additional force to protect our gains there. In Syria, we may send a major contingent of troops to fight Assad and contain the Iranians and Russians there. Add to that whatever may happen in Nortrh Korea. We have fought for almost 20 years in the Mideast and will fight for many more if Trump sticks to his change of policy.
