A top U.S. military official says Afghanistan, even after foreign troops have left will remain dependent on international troops for security many years to come. U.S. General Joseph Dunford, the U.S. commander of the NATO-led force told Reuters, he argued for a significant presence after the U.S.-dominated International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) is disbanded next year. Reuters reports, “the White House favors about 7,000 U.S. troops, but some in the U.S. military would prefer two or three times as many.”
