THE PENTAGON — Following repeated calls for a "mini troop surge" to assist the struggling Afghan security forces, the Army's Second Hobbit Brigade has begun preparations to deploy.
Military leaders and defense experts think the small but effective force is exactly what is needed to right-size American presence in the country.
"The generals asked for a mini troop surge, so I'm giving them the miniest troops we have," said President Donald Trump, noting that such surges have always worked in the past. "You haven't even seen mini until you've seen this troop surge."
