For U.S. Troops in Afghanistan, A Dangerous Mission Continues

Retired Army Lt. Col. Douglas Ollivant, a senior fellow at New America, disagreed with the South Korea metaphor. "South Korea is not Afghanistan. And South Korea, after the Korean War, we put troops there to essentially maintain the status quo. And they sat there to make sure the North Koreans did not come and invade the place. And other than that, they stay there; they trained and, frankly, they drank a lot of alcohol," he said on "This Week." "Afghanistan's different. It's the middle of the civil war and we need to transform that place."
