Withdraw U. S. troops from Afghanistan now

If President Obama does not want to put our forces in more danger by releasing photographs of "a few good men" abusing their authority over detainees held in Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo, tell me this -- why are we still over in Afghanistan? Was not that the whole point of sending armed forces to Afghanistan -- to take the fight to their soil instead of fighting it on ours?

In my opinion, we should get out of Afghanistan while we still can, lest we be quagmired there for the next 10, 20, 30, 40 years. Afghanistan will be the next Vietnam if we do not get out of there soon and possibly the dissolution point of America.
