Trump may use documents exposing US lies about Afghan war to justify exit - Ex-Official

Washington, Dec 13 (Sputnik) The release of secret US papers revealing widespread disillusion about the Afghanistan War will make it easier for President Donald Trump to end US military involvement there, former State Department Political Officer Matthew Hoh told Sputnik.
Earlier this week, the documents, whose existence was revealed by the Washington Post newspaper, were mainly generated by a multi-year government project called Lessons Learned to pinpoint US mistakes during the 18-year long Afghan War, the longest in American history, in order to avoid them in the future.
"Trump may point at it and use it to strengthen his arguments to end the US military involvement in Afghanistan," Hoh said.
