The Hill | To end endless war, wee must repeal the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force
The 2001 AUMF became law on Sept. 18, 2001, just days after the terrible attacks. This authorization provided congressional approval for the U.S. military response in Afghanistan, but it has since been used as legal justification at least 41 times to engage in conflicts in over 19 countries where American service members continue to deploy and fight.
This reinterpretation of the 2001 AUMF has placed our nation’s long-term security in peril. What was passed as a limited authorization to punish those responsible for the death and destruction of the 9/11 attacks has transformed into a blank check to wage endless war. |
