We invited you to pose questions like these on Facebook to our correspondent Nick Paton Walsh, who just returned from a reporting trip in Afghanistan.
While he was there, he witnessed a chilling development: ISIS training in the mountains, recruiting disillusioned Taliban fighters.
Paton Walsh spoke to a woman who endured a hideous ordeal. After getting raped by her cousin's husband, then being jailed for adultery, she was forced to marry her attacker.
And he spent time with the remaining U.S. troops in the country's troubled east, who are struggling to prop up a crumbling and corrupt Afghan army.
Here's what you, the readers, asked him on Facebook.
The mission has varied since the beginning, says Paton Walsh.
"At first it was kill Bin Laden and dismantle AQ (Al Qaeda), and depose the Taliban. But then it became 'Fix Afghanistan.' And then, now, it is leave Afghanistan with an army that can cope. And is slowly losing those last 6 words of the last sentence."
Nick Paton Walsh says: "It might in the end slow their drawdown, particularly if ISIS develop the military capability they are now not showing readily. The Obama administration is very keen to have all troops in the Embassy by 2017, but his successor might alter that."
Paton Walsh says he's not sure.
"(The U.S. military) has spent a lot of money, and made some people rich, leaving behind a lot of infrastructure that was not there before. They have -- in their eyes -- killed many insurgents.

CNN's Nick Paton Walsh answers your questions about Afghanistan
A U.S. soldier was reported killed in eastern Afghanistan on Wednesday after a visit to the area by a senior American diplomat, in what Afghan officials described as an insider shooting.
Afghan news media reported that at least two other U.S. soldiers were wounded when an Afghan soldier opened fire near the provincial governors compound in Jalalabad, east of Kabul. The Afghan soldier was killed in an exchange of gunfire with U.S. troops, according to provincial officials.
NATO forces in Afghanistan confirmed that a service member was killed but did not immediately disclose the soldiers nationality.
State Department officials in Kabul said that no U.S. Embassy personnel were killed in the incident.
The incident took place after a senior U.S. official held a meeting with the provincial governor, embassy spokesperson Monica Cummings said. All chief of mission personnel of the visiting party are accounted for.
The U.S. ambassador in Afghanistan, P. Michael McKinley, was in Kabul and not part of the visit to Jalalabad, the capital of Nangarhar province, embassy officials said.
It was the second attack this year in which an apparent Afghan service member turned his weapon on U.S. forces. In January, an Afghan in military uniform shot to death three U.S. contractors at a military facility inside Kabuls international airport, before being shot and killed by security forces.
So-called insider attacks, which once were among the leading killers of international forces in Afghanistan, have diminished sharply in recent years as the foreign troop presence diminishes. Approximately 10,000 U.S. soldiers remain in Afghanistan.
