CNN answers: What's going on in Afghanistan?

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.
