Wrong answer. NATO was created to defend against and contain the Soviet Union (Russia). NATO troops in Afghanistan do just that. Afghanistan used to be part of the Russian sphere of influence. NATO troops in Afghanistan serve to contain Russia so that if Russia makes a comeback it will not be able to become as powerfull as it was before. NATO hasn't changed it's mission. It is just busy finishing the job.
