US military recommended 20,000 troops in Afghanistan: McCain

”US military leaders have recommended that Washington should leave as many as 20,000 American troops in Afghanistan after 2016, says Senator John McCain.

“Well, [the]first recommendation I’m told was 20,000,” the Arizona Republican said in an interview aired Monday night, according to The Hill.

“I would have, I think, been comfortable with, say, 10,000 to 15,000. But — again — it’s very clear that what you need to do is withdraw on basic conditions, not on calendar,” the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee added.
