I haven't heard anything about permanent U.S. bases in Afghanistan. It doesn't surprise me that it is something they are thinking about doing.
The servicemen and women (U.S.) I have talked with feel like they aren't doing any good for the citizens out around the forward operating bases.
I can understand how the area around the large bases could be a safer place for the citizens....thinking that the insurgents would just leave that area alone. It could also make it worse for the citizens...if the insurgents stayed near the bases and attacked the bases often.
