Washington Examiner | 'Increasingly hard to say they died for something': Veteran activist mourns friends and blasts Afghanistan failures
The United States launched its military intervention into Afghanistan in 2001. In the 19 years since, it has become not only our longest war, but also our most expensive, even as prospects on the ground continue to look bleak. Congress has appropriated a total of $776 billion in taxpayer money to fund military operations in Afghanistan, and thousands of U.S. soldiers have died on Afghan soil.
Now, even many veterans who served in Afghanistan no longer think our failed exercise in nation-building is worth it anymore. |
