[ToloNews] Gallup has found that one year after the chaotic withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan, 50% of Americans say the US made a mistake in sending troops to the country, while 46% say it did not.
"This war economically was heavy for the United States and caused many human casualties, these two things are the reason for losing the American people's support for the presence of American forces in Afghanistan," said Ajmal Sulail, a counter-terrorism expert.
"This war is the cause that most of our youth are leaving the country, and now its so hard to find educated people now in Afghanistan," said Farhad, a Kabul resident.
According to Gallup research, the Afghanistan War, which began as a direct result of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, ultimately claimed the lives of more than 2,400 US service members, and injuries to more than 20,000 US troops and cost the US more than $2 trillion. |
