The US Army is in Afghanistan primarily to establish stability in the country. In order for the US Army to leave, the US leadership needs to believe that the stability will endure post-withdrawal. As a result, an Afghan Army would need to take the place of the US Army maintaining security. As a result, recruiting said soldiers is a high priority.
The best answer will be " US in Afghanistan"
The US invaded Afghanistan in 2001!
The US invaded Afghanistan in an attempt to wage war on terrorism, as Afghanistan is a hub for terrorists. The US is not at war with Afghanistan, but is working with the country to fight terrorism and keep Afghanistan out of terrorist hands. The same ideology was behind the Iraqi War.
Andrew Carnegie objected to US intervention in Cuba.
84,000 US Soldiers are currently at war in Afghanistan
NO!
The US took sides in an ongoing civil war in Afghanistan, it did not attack Afghanistan. The reason for taking sides was that the existing theocratic government of Afghanistan had supported terrorist activities against the US.
The Afghanistan government was allied with the Soviet Union at the time. The US supported the Mujahadeen, which was the group opposing the Soviet activity in Afghanistan (as well as the Afghan government).
