Huntsman and Romney lock horns over a major policy difference: Afghanistan. Huntsman advocates drawing down to around 15 thousand troops. Romney says he’d listen to generals on the ground who want around 100 thousand there.

Huntsman counters that at the end of the day the President is commander in chief, and notes that in 1967 the President took bad advice from generals on the ground… and we all know how that turned out.
