Following U.S. airstrikes of a Doctors Without Borders hospital in northern Afghanistan, Dr. Jeffrey Sachs, director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University, and General James L. Jones (Ret.), former U.S. National Security Advisor, join MSNBC’s Morning Joe and discuss future strategies in Afghanistan, including President Barack Obama’s consideration of keeping as many as 5,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan beyond 2016. “Could you speak to the reality of what war really is—it’s not a video game—and the fact that the U.S. now fights wars from the air, which is inherently dangerous without spotters on the ground?,” asks Mike Barnicle of General Jones. Listen to Gen. Jones’ answer here.
