Rethinking war in Afghanistan: Marjah edition

This week, the White House will take another look at its war strategy in Afghanistan. Just over the weekend, six U.S. soldiers were killed in a suicide attack in Kandahar. One of the main questions the administration will be trying to answer: Was sending 30,000 extra American troops to that country the right move? To help try and answer it for ourselves, we’ll explore one location that has received additional troops: Marjah in Helmand Province.

Paul Wood and Michael Buchanan, both from our partner the BBC, help us look at the U.S. strategy in Afghanistan.
