Since nobody else seems to have written a diary on this, I figured I'd better do so:

During an interview on ABC's "This Week" on Sunday morning, host George Stephanopoulos asked Sanders, a Democratic presidential candidate, whether he backs keeping U.S. troops in the country.

"Well, yeah, I won't give you the exact number. Clearly, we do not want to see the Taliban gain more power, and I think we need a certain nucleus of American troops present in Afghanistan to try to provide the training and support the Afghan army needs," he said.

So, just as does Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders backs the president's policy on Afghanistan.

In case you (like me) missed the word on this when it came out.
