In this, Nov. 7, 2014, photo, German soldiers participate in a memorial ceremony recalling those killed on allied missions, during a visit by NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, at the German NATO base, Camp Marmal, Mazar-i Sharif, Afghanistan. After 20 years of military engagement and billions of dollars spent, NATO and the United States still grapple with the same, seemingly intractable conundrum — how to withdraw troops from Afghanistan without abandoning the country to even more mayhem. Currently, 2,500 U.S. and about 10,000 NATO troops are still in Afghanistan. (AP Photo/Massoud Hossaini) **FILE**
