(20 Jul 2017) President Donald Trump shook hands with members of the military as he arrived at the Pentagon for a meeting on national security on Thursday.
Trump is focusing on the fight against the Islamic State group in Afghanistan during this visit to the defense department.
When asked about the visit, the President said "the meeting was great, a very good meeting."
The president didn't address an anticipated spike in troop levels in Afghanistan, telling reporters, "you'll be hearing."
The Trump administration hopes to address weaknesses in Afghan forces with a new strategy and the infusion of several thousand American forces.
There are now about 8,400 there.
The additional U.S. troops are expected to bolster the Afghan forces in critical areas so they can eventually take greater control over the security of their own nation.
The Taliban have slowly resurged, following the decision to end the combat role of U.S. and international forces at the end of 2014.

"One aspect of the conflict, by the way, that I will never ever countenance is that we drafted the lowest income level of America," (former) McCain said in an interview. "And the highest income level found a doctor that would say that they had a bone spur. That is wrong. That is wrong. If we're going to ask every American to serve, every American should serve." A young Donald Trump was seemingly in good health when he graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1968, as the United States was mired in one of the bloodiest years of the Vietnam War. The 22-year-old - who was 6 feet 2 inches tall and an athlete - had already avoided the military draft four times in order to complete his college education. But that spring, as he was set to graduate, he received a diagnosis that landed him a fifth draft deferment that would once again keep him out of Vietnam: bone spurs. President Trump sat out the war and instead went on to join his father in business. The New York Times reported that the president, as a young man, said his "heel spurs," which are protrusions caused by calcium buildup on the heel bone, made him unfit for service. Heel spurs can be cured by stretching, orthotics, or surgery. The president said he never got surgery for the condition. "Over a period of time, it healed up," he said, according to the Times. The diagnosis came two years after Trump had been declared available for service and passed a physical exam. On Wednesday, The Times reported that a Queens podiatrist who rented office space from Fred Trump, the president's father, might have given the president his diagnosis as a courtesy to his father. Trump, however, wasn't the only young man who managed to avoid being sent to Vietnam because he belonged to an influential family who could afford him a college education - or a favorable medical diagnosis. Draft deferment wasn't uncommon during the Vietnam era - but it frequently benefited a specific group of young men, particularly those who had the means to afford a college education or enough family influence to obtain a deferment. "President trump loves his peoples and the military." Yes, he loves to coward behind his people and send the military to get killed.

Trump avoided combat after receiving a 1-Y medical deferment, which was due to "bone spurs in his heels." The son of Fred Trump, a wealthy New York real estate developer, Donald Trump did what many other wealthy young men were allowed to do: He dodged the draft. Between 1964 and 1972, a few months before the draft ended, he received five deferments - in addition to his "bone spurs" claim, the other four were based on his educational status. He received two deferments while he attended Fordham University from 1964 to 1966, and two more after transferring to the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.

@@TheBlackdragon936-Trump lost the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes, he won the Electoral College vote, 304 to 227, in a presidential contest targeted by a Russian sabotage campaign. As of the end of his first year in office, opinion polls have shown Trump to be the least popular president in the history of modern American presidential opinion polling. Mr Trump has long called for the US to leave the Middle East. On the campaign trail, he said the region was a "total and complete mess" and wished the government had spent the trillions of dollars in the US instead. In September 2017, the Trump administration announced the deployment of 3,000 additional troops to Afghanistan. So, what makes Trump such a "great" President?

TheRightThing It’s in regards to your dumb statement about him dodging military service. I did serve and you can count my time as him serving. He is taking care of the military like no other president ever has and giving us the gear we have needed for decades. If you hate the president and hate America, get out.
