Trump and the Forever Afghan War Commentary

Stephen Chapman writes in the Chicago Tribune syndicated column that U.S. involvement in Afghanistan has stretched indefinitely, critiquing policy choices and questioning the rationale behind the prolonged conflict. He argues for reassessing strategy and goals.

Forever War? Trump’s Afghan Strategy Lacks Clear Path to Victory

The piece argues Trump’s plan for Afghanistan is vague and unlikely to end the long conflict. It contrasts past efforts by Bush and Obama, notes continued civilian harm concerns, and suggests the administration underestimates the cost and complexity of winning. It cites Rex Tillerson and Petraeus while predicting extended U.S. involvement and uncertain gains.
