I am surprised that a War College graduate such as yourself missed this
little tidbit from a June USA Today:
......
Four and a half years after they overthrew the Islamic militia that had
controlled much of Afghanistan, U.S.-led forces have been forced to ramp up
the battle to stabilize this impoverished, shattered country. More than
10,000 U.S., Canadian, British and Afghan government troops are scouring
southern and eastern Afghanistan in a campaign called Operation Mountain
Thrust.
