U.S. Sens. John McCain and Lindsey
Graham say the Obama administration should act quickly to send
additional troops to Afghanistan.
The Republican lawmakers from Arizona and South Carolina made
those comments Monday during a town hall meeting at The Citadel,
South Carolina's military college.
The war was discussed, but the meeting centered mostly on health
care. Graham said some Citadel cadets will find themselves on the
front lines in coming years.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates is expected to ask for additional
forces to handle a rising threat from roadside bombs in
Afghanistan. But the White House has said no decision is expected
for weeks.
Graham said the war is not Obama's war but America's war and the
nation must win it.
