"KABUL, Afghanistan — Britain withdrew the last of its Royal Marines from the violent Sangin District in northern Helmand Province on Monday, handing control in that Taliban stronghold to American troops." This means that even that the U.S wants to remove soldiers there is a strong belief that this would not be in the countries best intrest. The inability to train Afghani troops to support/help in the fight on terrorism almost puts the U.S in the position to seeminlgy not be able to remove to amount of troops in which they wish too. Also with that, Britian is leavin not only Sangin "out to dry" but they are also putting alot of pressure on the U.S to pick up thier slack.
