Doctrines[edit]

Particularly from the point of view that the Powell Doctrine advises having an Exit Strategy to PREVENT an 'unfavourable situation'[1], this article doesn't make much sense. Try Google for 'define:exit strategy' [2] and check out the disconnect between Wiki's definition and that which the rest of the world has.67.48.73.184 07:05, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For starters, I hadn't noticed that the intro of the article had been clumsily mixed together with the new "interpersonal" definition, which shouldn't be at the top anyway. The intro should provide a concise and general definition that fits all three venues. That said, I don't quite see your point. Quagmire = unfavorable situation, don't you agree? Finally, glad you called that to our attention; the Powell Doctrine was probably one step where the term became more public. I don't think it became political jargon until Mogadishu, though. --Dhartung | Talk 08:04, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Missing section[edit]

As I have stated before, I think this article should have this section. I have placed it here, so you can comment on it, instead of starting a war of endless reversing.

At behavior modification facilities[edit]

When a child reaches adulthood while being detained in a behavior modification facility, the detained child can legally leave the facility. However, in order to secure that the child does not just wait for the time to go until the adulthood is reached, the parents and the facility tells the child that he has to live on his own without the support of the family.

Normally, the facility gives the child about 50 dollars and a backpack. The released inmate is then given either a bus ticket or a plane ticket to a place in the states, which is not close to home, where the former inmate can start a life on his or her own.

Not Up to Date[edit]

This article claims that President Obama hasn't publicly declared an exit strategy for the Afghanistan war. However, in this article (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_in_Afghanistan_(2001–present) - under Withdrawal), a date has been set. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.102.247.237 (talk) 14:21, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
