70. Here goes:
I think he understands that more troops are needed to gain control in the areas the Taliban has retaken and to eliminate the poppy trade as much as possible. The poppy's fund the Taliban.

I believe other countries will be far more willing to help if he is President.

I believe he will manage the aid entering the country better and slow the money being given to corrupt officials and companies.

I believe that he will focus on strenthening the Afgan government so a vacuum is not left for the Taliban to fill.

Do I KNOW he will do these things, no. But I am confident he is far more capable then our current Administration, who have fucked things up in truly astounding ways.
