>> that was a clip from the new documentary "korengal" shot in the korengal valley in afghanistan.fects our u.s. troops fighting there. sebastien, the director and producer of "korengal." thank you for your work on this. i think it's really allowed non-veterans to connect with what the experience is like and what some of the challenges are. we saw some of the soldiers telling you what they'll miss about war. how do they deal with coming back and readjusting to the pace of life at home? >> they deal with it very poorly. you have to understand, in combat, there's a huge amount of adrenaline. obviously you can see from that clip that it's something they really got used to. but there's a lot of closeness. they're sleeping shoulder to shoulder on the ground for a year. they're never alone. i mean, imagine spending a year never alone. never more than ten minutes from another person, from other people, who you really love and you would be willing to die for. >> and no one back home is going to understand. >> that's right. you've got the twib drutwin dru of adrenaline and doesness. they're

nothing really incapacitating. >> the film is "korengal."ou have breaking news from an interview with the deputy of national security? >> literally moments ago. i spoke with the security adviser and he told us that the white house chief of staff denis mcdonough has asked for a launching of an investigation of the inadvertent outing of the cia official. how could this have happened with the review being conducted to make sure that, in his words, it won't happen again? and on the issue of the 198 troops that are going to stay in afghanistan following what is supposed to be the complete withdrawal at the end of this year, 98 will stay there. how much will it cost for u.s. taxpayers to stay there? he tells us. and i'll give you a clue. tens of millions of dollars to keep that military presence in 2016. >> that's coming up in eight minutes. wolf blitzer, thank you so much. >>> a monster weekend at the box office at "x men." does it say something about hollywood's true feelings about the president obama's policies? those little things still get yo

secondly, i was watching last night the brilliant document from the korengal valley. what is the message to the troops, to the veterans who have served in afghanistan? now that we're withdrawing. are we giving up, are we letting the bad guys take over? what are they, as you medal of honor winner would know better than anyone, what do they take away from this whole lesson of the longest war? >> with respect to the contingent of most military people, especially in an unconventional environment like it is in afghanistan, will say that 10,000 is not enough. it is interesting, it is 9,800. it is a bit like saying $98.99. it is still $100. they want to make it sound like it is less than 10,000. the fact of the matter is, most of the people i talk to say that given that the mission is accomplished, we'd need probably around 15,000 or 16,000 people. missions include not only training the afghans to defend themselves in a conventional way, but also training afghans to conduct counterinsurgency operations in their own country. as well as all the logistical and administrative pe
