A senior official verified the base had been handed over to Afghan security forces earlier on Friday amid a full-scale U.S. troop withdrawal from the Middle Eastern nation.<\/p>\n<p>Reports said the air base served as the states\u2019 flashpoint in its war on terror in Afghanistan following the Sept. 11 attack by Al-Qaeda. However, after more than 20-years of conflict, which took the lives of around 2,300 U.S. soldiers and more than 100,000 Afghans, many have been worried the country is no more stable than before.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor Afghans that is a really big problem, now the war between the Afghan government and the Taliban will be worse,\u201d said Ilyas, a man residing in Kabul who declined to give his last name.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Just saw video of last U.S. flight out of Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. <\/p>\n<p>Like most vets of this war, I have very complicated feelings about this. <\/p>\n<p>To my fellow vets: there\u2019s a difference between your service and the politics of the conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for answering the call<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rep. Jason Crow (@RepJasonCrow) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepJasonCrow\/status\/1410987793795387393?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 2, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>A total of 650 U.S. troops will remain in Afghanistan indefinitely, based largely at the U.S. embassy for security. There have also been discussions around whether 300 additional troops will remain at Kabul\u2019s airport for further security measures.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/judge-orders-minneapolis-to-hire-more-police-officers\/\">Judge Orders Minneapolis To Hire More Police Officers<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Soldiers from the U.S. Army\u2019s 10th Mountain and 101st Airborne Division disembark from their chinook helicopter March 12, 2002 after returning to Bagram Air Base from the fighting in eastern &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-580176","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/580176","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=580176"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/580176\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=580176"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=580176"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=580176"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
