HeadlineNov 21, 2017

In news on the U.S. war in Afghanistan, the U.S. Air Force is on track to triple the number of bombs dropped there this year, compared with last year. The major increase in bombing comes as the Trump administration has deployed thousands more U.S. troops to Afghanistan in recent months. By early 2018, there are slated to be about 16,000 U.S. troops there. The ongoing U.S. war in Afghanistan is the longest war in U.S. history.
