New York Times Magazine | After tours in Afghanistan, U.S. veterans weigh peace with the Taliban
There’s been a growing consensus among veterans groups in Washington that a full withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan is long overdue. Last year, Concerned Veterans for America, a conservative advocacy group, made ending the post-Sept. 11 wars a legislative priority — a policy agenda it shared with more progressive veterans groups on the left, like VoteVets and Common Defense.
“Anecdotally, when you talk to veterans and service members about going to Afghanistan again and again and again, the response that you get is that people are tired,” said Nate Anderson, the executive director of Concerned Veterans for America. “People are tired of fighting this war that has no clear objective and that has no end in sight.” |
