Troops of no effect: Will Afghanistan gain from pullout?

A suicide bomb blast at a hospital in eastern Afghanistan has killed at least 25, and wounded dozens more. The attack comes a day after a bomb ripped through a market in another part of the country, killing ten. Despite the recent surge of violence in Afghanistan, Barack Obama has announced the withdrawal of over 30 thousand U.S. soldiers by the end of next year. Obama's military commanders are calling the plan risky, and advise a much smaller troop reduction. All this as International investigators say the nearly ten-year-long U.S. mission has failed to reduce corruption among Afghan officials.

don’t thank you for your service in fighting foreign wars.

I don’t thank you for your service in fighting without a congressional declaration of war.

I don’t thank you for your service in bombing and destroying Iraq and Afghanistan.

I don’t thank you for your service in occupying over 150 countries around the world.

I don’t thank you for your service in garrisoning the planet with over 1,000 military bases.

@grimblebrumble17889 America is certainly in no position to espouse religous freedom or try to enforce it in another nation, considering the continuing effort to limit Christianity here in the states. But my real issue is simply that it's a civil unrest issue within the borders of a foreign country, and America needs to mow it's own lawn before trying to adress problems in the neighbors yard, if you gather my meaning.

@Mindcrime121 Well if your worried about people being oppressed for their religious beleifs then Chinas the worst culprit for that. Oh and theres no such thing as "Afghanis". Afghans are a bit like the British in that way, other nations identify them as Afghan but they say that they are Pashto, or Tajik, Khazar, Turkmen etc. None of them (other than the ones with an American hand up their arse) say they are Afghans.
