Nov. 27 Dec. 3, 2017 Prospects for Afghanistan and Pakistan Major internal conflict has plagued Afghanistan for four decades. The U.S., for its part, has conducted military operations in the country nearly continuously since 9/11. Today, war with the Taliban persists, and tensions between the U.S. and Pakistan have gradually deteriorated. As his time in office drew to a close, President Obama limited further withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan. The incoming administration has a choice: Will it maintain the status- quo, completely reverse the Obama administration drawdown or withdraw completely? Does the U.S. face a no win situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan? 2:00 pm, Wellness Center Tuesday, November 28 FTJ Holiday Cards Available at the Rez We will have several FTJ themed holiday cards available for sale at the Rez starting November 4. These cards will be sold in a variety pack 5 cards (one of each design) for $4.00. You may also purchase 5 cards of one design for $4.00 and 10 cards of one design for $7.00.
