If we leace it up to him
The Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James Conway will probably keep his Marines in Afghanistan forever to prove that they have a useful function.
Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James Conway says it will probably be a "few years" before Afghanistan will be secure enough for the Marines to leave.The General prefers useless fighting in the Kabul Quagmire to political infighting in the Pentagon.
The Marines have been at the forefront of America's toughest fights in the Taliban strongholds of Marjah and Kandahar.
Conway told reporters Tuesday that while "some American unit somewhere in Afghanistan" will likely turn over combat duties to Afghan forces in 2011, they probably won't be Marines.
