South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg, a former U.S. Naval Reserve officer, rejected any proposal to 'completely withdraw' troops from the Middle East, and said President Donald Trump's erratic foreign policy is affecting Americans' safety.
The War in Afghanistan, which began in October 2001 soon after the 9/11 terror attacks, is America's longest war and has left more than 2,300 U.S. troops dead as well as tens of thousands of Afghan and coalition troops. Buttigieg served as an intelligence officer in the U.S. Navy Reserve and deployed to Afghanistan in 2014.
"What President Trump does is wake up in the morning and have a phone call or maybe a tweet and completely change years or even decades of U.S. policy, surprising his own generals and country in the process. That's not how this works," said Buttigieg. "The way to do it is to stay ahead of these problems, engage our allies and to lead an international community to promote stability and peace," he added.

Perhaps! Either way, what a weenie!
