The mission in Afghanistan is over there to bring peace and help them bring their nation together. Marine Corps Gen. Joseph Dunford, commander of U.S. Forces Afghanistan said “Our mission was to fight terrorists, not to rebuild that nation,” he said. “Are we going to tell the American people that we have to maintain a presence in perpetuity in Afghanistan, like in Korea?" He hasn't reported any current problems that we don't already know about. He said he really could give a time frame but he did say that "If we can’t do the job in 13 years, we’re not going to get the job done.”
