"The total number of troops required to secure Afghanistan is probably closer to 500,000 than it is to 150,000 who are on the ground now. The additional 20,000 Americans are just a down payment on a vastly expanded security force that we are going to have to build over the next several years."
– John Nagl, senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security
