A top U.S. general has proposed resuming offensive strikes against the Taliban in Afghanistan. The Washington Post reports top Pentagon officials have accused General John F. Campbell, who recently left his post as commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, of breaking with procedure by forwarding his proposal directly to the White House without the knowledge of Defense Secretary Ashton Carter. Campbell denies the claim. Current policy allows the United States to strike the Taliban only under certain conditions, including if there’s a direct threat to U.S. troops.
