The United States and coalition forces invaded Afghanistan in 2001 after the September 11 terror attacks. After the attacks, U.S. intelligence officials determined that the Afghani-based militant organization Al-Qaeda was responsible. In 2001 90% of Afghanistan was controlled by the Sunni Islamic military organization The Taliban. After the Taliban refused requests by U.S. President George W. Bush to dismantle Al-Qaeda the U.S. launched military operations known as Operation Enduring Freedom. As of June 27, 2019 2,419 U.S. troops have died in the conflict.

Unique answers from America users whose views extended beyond the provided choices.
@8XB8NH52yrs2Y
Yes, however, Biden's botched withdrawal is the best example of how NOT to do it.
@8X95KPY2yrs2Y
Yes, but it should have been done in a better manner that did not result in leaving equipment in the rush to leave
@8QW3YH53yrs3Y
@8FF8RJS4yrs4Y
Yes, but pulling out needs to be done carefully. Civilians should be polled by US forces to assist in the formation of a stable government of their choosing, not the United States installing a leader that the civilians of Afghanistan disprove of.
@8XH56DM2yrs2Y
Yes but it needs an actual plan to get out without hurting allies and people that relied on us during that time
@8XDFFD82yrs2Y
Yes, well we pulled the majority of troops out. But we should have had a better exit strategy.
