Politico | Biden sending troops back to Afghanistan to evacuate Kabul embassy, veterans group launches multi-million dollar effort to end U.S. military role in Iraq
Behind these pieces of media is Concerned Veterans of America, a Charles Koch-backed outfit that is preparing to launch a $2 million campaign against a continued U.S. military presence in Iraq. After a $1.25 million and multiyear effort to persuade lawmakers and the public that the 20-year fight in Afghanistan was no longer worth it, CVA has turned its sights to the nation's other protracted deployment.
"Even if there's a lot of other things going on in the foreign policy space, this to us is a critical issue, and leaving American troops in Iraq a minute longer than necessary is something that we want to act on," said Dan Caldwell, a senior adviser at CVA and an Iraq War veteran. |
