I am so amazed and surprised at the lack of knowledge being presented in certain posts like this one. 'American is being brought down to its knees'.......?? REALLY???? That's some serious big words son!!! and without a clue of the reality. It'll be nice to read up on American military, foreign policy, American interests, economy, etc. You'll get an answer that way.
With all the corruption and bad governance, with bankruptcy looming on the horizon every year for the past many years, with terrorism killing thousands of people every year, with businessmen moving to America and other foreign and eastern countries......I can still NOT say that Pakistan is going down on its knees. It still runs somehow in every aspects. Although poor but it still runs!!!
How could you POSSIBLY say that about the world's largest economy, extremely stable country and political environment for business and jobs, superb financial growth, the most modern, the strongest and the state of the art military...???? A country that can fight about seven consecutive wars if it really has to??? Unbelievable!!! the truth is, American doesn't want to and doesn't need to stay in Afghanistan with full force. There will ALWAYS be presence there, primarily to monitor the terrorist activity by Al-Qaeda, etc and to keep things in check and monitored about the Chinese and the Iranians. That would be done through the equipment and personnel that will remain behind in Afghanistan. There is enough electronic equipment and infrastructure to do the job with far less people. Why keep a full force there when they may not have enough to do there anymore??
How does reduction in forces make 'America bending down on its knees'?? You guys have some CRAZY thoughts and the post just sounds silly, no offense. It will be nice if you make comments that are somewhat realistic.
