The choice to withdraw is more political than anything. Then again, everything in government is political. I don't mind him withdrawing our troops. On a selfish note, I do have family members who are in the military and I feel safer with them out of there. However, it is the way he withdraw the troops. You don't just quickly pack your bags and leave without a thought to the people who have help, live, and die with you all of those times. This is Vietnam all over again. The difference is that this time it is seen in video by the whole world not just through the media, but through the videos of everyday people where there is no editing, but straight raw footage of the actual events. There is no hiding or sugar coating because people can see the situation for what it is. It will be very hard for the US to build trust again.
