The Hill | Cross-partisan groups urge Biden to stick with May 1 Afghanistan withdrawal
A coalition of advocacy groups for veterans and military families from across the political spectrum is calling on President Biden to adhere to a May 1 deadline to withdraw all U.S. troops from Afghanistan.
In a letter to Biden on Tuesday, the nine organizations argued the May 1 deadline "presents the best opportunity any president over the past twenty years has faced to end America’s longest ever war."
"On behalf of our membership and veterans across the country who have answered the call to serve our country, we urge you to honor the sacrifices our troops and their families are willing to make on America's behalf by not asking our women and men in uniform to remain entangled in a conflict with no clear military mission or path to victory," the groups wrote in the letter obtained by The Hill. "Our members are proud of their service, but they know it is long past time for America to come home from Afghanistan." |
