West Virginia’s First District Congressman David McKinley (R-WV) said a recent trip to Afghanistan reinforced his belief that some outside military presence, including forces from the United States, is needed in that country beyond the end of this year.

“We’re talking about a very limited number of advisers,” said McKinley on Wednesday’s MetroNews “Talkline.” “They will not be engaged in military conflict. They will not be armed, but there is some intelligence that we can offer by having them there as advisers.”

McKinley was in Afghanistan for five days, earlier this month, as part of a Congressional delegation that included members of the U.S. House Armed Services Committee.
