Defense News | US troops, dollars exiting Afghanistan could fight terror, top commander tells Congress
The top U.S. commander in the Mideast told lawmakers Tuesday some troops exiting Afghanistan will stay in the region for counter-terror operations and suggested they could be a “lever” against Russia and China.
