Dear John,
For more than two decades, the U.S. has maintained a complex military presence
in Iraq, including sprawling airbases like Baghdad International Airport and Al
Asad. Originally established as strategic footholds in the War on Terror, these
bases have evolved into symbols of America’s endless entanglements in a region
bristling with danger.
As a combat veteran who served there, I understand the weight of the Iraq War
that my veteran brothers and sisters carry every day. Many of us gladly served
only to find ourselves asking hard questions as the war droned on and its
original purpose collapsed under the weight of facts coming to light. This war,
launched on false premises , has cost nearly 4,500 American lives, left over
30,000 wounded, and claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of innocent
Iraqis. Beyond the human toll, this conflict has destabilized the region,
giving rise to extremist groups like ISIS, and drained over $2 trillion from
our economy that could have stayed in taxpayers' pockets or been used to
support our own communities.
It’s time to end our involvement in this war once and for all. News of recent
negotiations with the Iraqi government offer a chance for us to finally close
this chapter of our nation’s endless wars. The ongoing presence in Iraq not
only perpetuates our nation’s immense costs, but it keeps our leaders from
making real choices about where to prioritize our limited resources. Those
leaders must learn to shift from reactive deployments to genuine strategic
recalibrations. I’m asking you to stand with me in demanding Congress and the
president take immediate action to bring our troops home and officially end the
Iraq War. Our nation, and those who have served it, deserve closure and
accountability.

and make it clear the time for endless war is over. We need your voice in this
fight to ensure no more lives are lost in a conflict that should have ended
years ago.
With deep respect,

P.S. The effects of the Iraq War and Global War on Terror have been
catastrophic and will be felt for decades. But it's not too late to protect the
next generations of Americans and our warfighters from unnecessary conflict. As
an Iraq veteran myself, I hope to see Congress honor those of us who served by
upholding its constitutional responsibilities with more prudent foreign policy
decisions in the future.
