President Biden and the Pentagon say that after U.S. forces leave Afghanistan they will still assist that country from afar. But what precisely does that mean and can it be effective?

Rep. Andy Kim, D-N.J., cleans up debris and trash strewn across the floor in the early morning hours of Thursday, Jan. 7, 2021, after protesters stormed the Capitol in Washington, on Wednesday. (AP Photo/Andrew Harnik)Water bottles, clothing, Trump flags, even a U.S. flag littered the ground inside the U.S. Capitol after a mob backing President Donald Trump ransacked the building. New Jersey Rep. Andy Kim walked amid the mess shortly after voting to certify Joe Biden’s victory over Trump — and felt the weight of the day wearing on him — when something motivated him to clean up the debris. I felt this kind of heightened, kind of supercharged kind of patriotism that I just felt take over,” he said in an interview. “I think it was 1 in the morning,” said fellow New Jersey Democratic Rep. Tom Malinowski.

Gen. David Petraeus urged President Donald Trump on Veterans Day not to drag out his election lawsuits and to allow transition planning to begin in the meantime. "If you really care for the country, at the very least, exhaust these legal challenges as quickly as is absolutely possible, ideally by early next week," Petraeus said on CNBC's "Squawk Box." "This is not just about this election, but every election in the future." I don't favor either party, but I do favor the country," said Petraeus, chairman of KKR Global Institute. "He used to tell the battalion and brigade commanders, 'If you really love your unit, if you really care for it, you will suppress your ego, you'll let your successor into the organization before you even leave, before the change of command,'" he said.

The 10 generals include some who made costly battlefield blunders; others mistreated captured Union soldiers, some were slaveholders and one was linked to the Ku Klux Klan after the war. Gen. Braxton Bragg, namesake for the famed North Carolina Army base, was also a slaveholder and an unpopular general who resigned his command after defeat in 1863 at Chattanooga. Virginia base namesake Gen. George Pickett, the big loser at Gettysburg, had 22 Union soldiers executed and later fled to Canada. Some scholars of the South, such as history professor Ted Ownby, say it's not clear how renaming the bases would play politically. ___Editors Note: Sewell, The APs Cincinnati correspondent, is a former Atlanta-based Southern Regional Writer.

Retired U.S. General David Petraeus, who commanded American forces during the war in Iraq, once called Soleimani "our most significant and evil adversary in the greater Middle East." While Soleimani was seen as a terrorist in the U.S., he was a towering and deeply respected figure in Iran. Iranian protesters hold a portrait of the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard's Quds Force, Gen. Qassem Soleimani, during a demonstration in the capital Tehran, December 11, 2017, to denounce President Trump's declaration of Jerusalem as Israel's capital. But after Rafsanjani, Soleimani became head of the Quds Force. While a U.S.-led coalition focused on airstrikes, several ground victories for Iraqi forces came with photographs emerging of Soleimani leading, never wearing a flak jacket.
