McCain says U.S. troops should permanently deploy to Afghanistan, much like in S. Korea

By Rowan Scarborough - The Washington Times 

Senate Armed Services Chairman John McCain said on Thursday that the U.S. needs to model its troop stay in Afghanistan on the long commitment the nation made to South Korea.

American forces have been stationed in the South for over 60 years. They repelled the invasion from the communist North, then stood at the border to block a second one as they turned the local armed forces into one of the best in the world. Nearly 30,000 are stationed there today.
