Back last fall or was it spring when we discussed this? I suggested that we should pull the regular line folks, but leave the drone crews and some snake eaters. I still advocate that footprint but have never really been a “hearts and minds” manager. If the average Afghan wants his daughter to manage go to school, he will need to oppose the taliban whether we have a presence there or not. If someone insists on managing something let us try to “manage” losing no more limbs or folks to IEDs.
