Talk:Coalition combat operations in Afghanistan in 2006

[edit]

The article War in Afghanistan (2001–present) was getting very big, far bigger than the recommended wikipedia length. As other phases of the war had separate articles, I thought the NATO mission (of which there is more detail that could go on), warranted its own article. Also no doubt the nature of operations in Afghanistan in 2007 may well change. I have called it Coalition combat operations in Afghanistan in 2006 to recognise that not all western forces (in particular US) operate under NATO control and to exclude ISAF forces in the north not involved in combat operations.

order of battle

[edit]

Add an order of battle as troop units will no doubt change in 2007 Chwyatt 13:53, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Flags

[edit]

What is the best way to list flags? I have currently listed them in terms of who has largest number of troops at the top (only in the south) rather than alphabetically. Chwyatt 17:18, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

year in Afghanistan

[edit]

I have been tidying up the years on Afghanistan 2001 in Afghanistan / 2002 in Afghanistan / 2003 in Afghanistan / 2004in Afghanistan and have bought them all back to there own individual pages. They were across many month pages, with very little useful info. Now they still need to be tidied up, and extranaeous info removed. However, I did notice that 2006 / 2007 / 2008 we had completely changed the format. Anybody know why? Should we create the articles for 2005 in Afghanistan / 2006 in Afghanistan / 2007 in Afghanistan / 2008 in Afghanistan / 2009 in Afghanistan ?? Jez t e C 21:26, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why did the US troops leave Afghanistan?

[edit]

It says, "From January 2006, a NATO International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) force started to replace U.S. troops in southern Afghanistan as part of Operation Enduring Freedom."

This is iterated on https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/History_of_War_in_Afghanistan_(2001%E2%80%93present)

Why? Why did the USA leave Afghanistan? I have noticed similar things on Wikipedia entries on the Iraq and Syrian wars. I would go as far as to say that I have found this to be typical of history schoolbooks. History, as told, is just a string of random, uncaused events. Shit just happens. I do understand that history schoolbooks have to leave things--lots of things--out.

I write this as a reader trying to understand. The USA leaves southern Afghanistan during a period described as "2003–2005 Taliban resurgence, war with Afghan forces" elsewhere. This is not a small why. This is a WTF! As a reader you would rather expect a surge, but get the exact opposite. Was it because of political pressure? I made that up, but the question remains. Why?
