IMHO, the main difference is the terrain. In Iraq we could use
our armament and fight with the advantage.
Afghanistan's terrain is not armament friendly and we are at
a disadvantage unless it is fought by special ops.
Our original purpose in going there was to knock out Taliban/ Alqueda
training camps. We should get out and fight them to our advantage
by using special ops and drones to hit new training camps and headquarters.
Nothing to gain by staying and loosing more of our young service men
and women.
