Approximately 3 in 10 Americans (28 percent) believe the U.S. did the right thing by removing all troops from Afghanistan, while 50 percent think the U.S. should have withdrawn some troops from Afghanistan though, not all troops, and 15 percent believe the U.S. should not have withdrawn any troops from Afghanistan.
