In 2001 the armies of the world united behind America and Bagram Air Base, barely an hours drive from the Afghan capital Kabul, was chosen as the epicenter of Operation Enduring Freedom, as the assault on the Taliban rulers was dubbed. It\u2019s now nearly 20 years later and the last US soldier is soon to depart the base.

For two decades the U.S. military relied heavily on Bagram Airfield as a strategic location in the Middle East, but it\u2019s now over 50 percent deserted.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. officials said they have already cleared out over half of the base as it moves forward with plans to hand the airfield over to Afghan forces. Retired Afghan Army General Safiullah Safi, who served with the U.S. troops in Bagram, said he\u2019s optimistic for the future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBagram can turn to a very good and strong base for the Afghan Airforce, and they will be able to control the whole country,\u201d stated the Afghan general. \u201cBut if there is no peace and fighting continues, I believe that a second wave of resistance will start from Bagram against the groups, which don\u2019t want peace in Afghanistan.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Bagram Airfield on Friday, as US troops close up shop.
