More Troops?

I agree that it will take more time to get out of Afghanistan than the American public would like it to because of what changes have been made while we have been in there, but I think requesting over 60,000 more troops is ridiculous. If anything, the number of troops in Afghanistan should be decreasing, not being raised. This means that more and more people are going overseas to take part in a movement and to do things that they may be against doing.
