oak e kirby said. so up of what american forces do there advise and assist. traininging a gann and iraqi forces. people say been there ages. they're trained. remember, the technologies are constantly evolvinevolving, modg and the tactics used, taliban, isis and afghanistan growing by the day, takc tactics changing e day. our forces are most able to adapt to this. they need us on the ground. what they say and i talked to a lot of folks in iraq and afghanistan when the news came out. they're concerned for their own forces because they don't feel they're capable and equipped enough to go ahead and with mission moving forward. >> yeah. that brings the question, then, eventually do american forces more of them have to re-engage to considerable more risk than their facing now? i want to bring in barbara starr to this conversation with ker it b kirby and vivian. i'm struck by the fact who the acting secretary is, a green beret, involved in invasion of afghanistan and a full circle, not exactly. look the troops are not drawing down to zero. tell us how significant th
