US military strategy from eastern Afghanistan

The World

All this week, we mark the eighth anniversary of the war in Afghanistan with a series of conversations. We revisit the attack that killed eight American soldiers from Colorado Springs’ Fort Carson over the weekend. To get some perspective on the attack and on broader military strategy, we hear from Major T.G. Taylor, who is with the International Security Assistance Force in Jalalabad, in eastern Afghanistan, where the attack took place.

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
