Eighteen years ago today, the United States invaded Iraq. That means there are troops old enough to be deployed to Iraq who were not even born when this conflict started.

The key to ending America’s Forever Wars is — and always has been — repealing the Authorizations for Use of Military Force (AUMFs) that have been abused across administrations of both parties. Until both the 2001 and 2002 AUMFs are repealed, our troops will be stuck with open-ended commitments in the Middle East and elsewhere.

That’s why VoteVets supports Senator Tim Kaine’s bill to repeal the 2002 AUMF so we can start the process of ending America’s Forever Wars. Sign our petition calling on Congress to pass his legislation and repeal the Iraq AUMF:

President Biden has committed to working with Congress to end the forever wars by repealing the outdated AUMFs.

Now it’s time for Congress to do their job: Vote YES on Senator Kaine’s bill to repeal the AUMF.
