The United States and coalition forces invaded Afghanistan in 2001 after the September 11 terror attacks. After the attacks, U.S. intelligence officials determined that the Afghani-based militant organization Al-Qaeda was responsible. In 2001 90% of Afghanistan was controlled by the Sunni Islamic military organization The Taliban. After the Taliban refused requests by U.S. President George W. Bush to dismantle Al-Qaeda the U.S. launched military operations known as Operation Enduring Freedom. As of June 27, 2019 2,419 U.S. troops have died in the conflict.
No, not all of the troops.

I don’t know enough to form an opinion
Yes, but maintain a covert watch over the area.
I don't have enough info
Just enough to maintain intelligence
No, remove them slowly to stabilize the nation
Most should be withdrawn, but some should remain to ensure order in the area
Yes, but pulling out needs to be done carefully. Civilians should be polled by US forces to assist in the formation of a stable government of their choosing, not the United States installing a leader that the civilians of Afghanistan disprove of.
Yes, at least until the coronavirus pandemic ends. But we should use drone strikes to take out terrorists in Afghanistan until the pandemic ends.
Only if Afghanistan proves itself to no longer be a threat. And then, slowly as to not disturb the region and give aid to lead to a fairer government.
I’m not educated on this subject
Yes, but not until the U.S. has fully repaired any damage caused by the war
Reduce presence but continue training of local military
Yes, but not at once
No, not unless they don’t need help or they send the US troops back.
Yes, in a safe and controlled manner as to avoid destabilizing the area even further
Only when Afghanistan will be safe without US presence.
Yes, but gradually to ensure a stable transition in Afghanistan to help their government with insurgency issues
maintain a presence but for intelligence and surveillance only
Yes, we should move to occupy less foreign soil. This should be a planned transition not abrupt removal
Should remain some sort of presence there
All except those assigned to embassy duty.
Use drones not people
Yes, unless the Taliban decide to continue to be violent. Then we send the whole force.
No, but we should not have as many troops
Yes, the killing of Afghannis causes more terrorists to be created, and continues the cycle of violence
Yes, but in a methodical way to avoid further incidents.
Not "all," but we should reduce our military presence.
Not all Troops, but keep an American Presence There
No, leave behind a force to stabilize the region.
Gradually yes, by 2024 we should be gone
No because of Iran and Russia and danger of terrorism
Yes, only if they are wanting to return home.
Yes, but slowly as to not destabilize
No, most troops should be removed but an advisory force and small counter terrorism cell should be left to stabilize the current government.
No, ensure that the Afghan government is stable enough before pulling troops out.
No, once they're in there they can't just go away and let the people die in the hands of ISIS
Yes, but not unilaterally or suddenly
Not all, but a good amount
No, we need to stay there until the legitimate government can keep the Taliban under control, and our occupation has promoted liberal values in the country
Yes but only when Isis threat is eliminated
Not until the intra-Afghan peace deal is attained.
Yes, Our military should be stationed in America and America only.
Decrease the amount slowly.
Yes, but not all at once, we need to maintain at least a little presence their, otherwise there will be a power gap/hole.
