We haven't achieved much there, except we now have thousands of battle hardened and experienced troops which I believe was part of the agenda. History tells us, or at least me, that any real meaningful and lasting change of culture or regime in any country has to come from within and be led by the people of that country( ie:France, Russia, Cuba etc) and having things like democracy as we know it imposed on people will not last. Democracy has to evolve and be from the people and for the people, not from outside. Apparently our troops in this new deployment will not be leaving the base, but we will have to see. We must also keep in the backs of our minds that the Taliban and ISIS are not a million miles apart in their philosophies and ' the enemy of my enemy is my friend' etc...
