National Review | A veteran’s group pushes for America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan
The statistic jumps off the page: 69 percent of veterans support a withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan.Concerned Veterans for America (CVA) is part of Stand Together, the network of political groups allied with Charles Koch, and has generally focused on issues relating to the Department of Veterans Affairs in the past. But this year the group is ready to take a big step into the broader foreign-policy discussion with a campaign to bring U.S. military operations in Afghanistan to an end.
“The core group responsible for 9/11 has been either captured or killed, and yet this endless war continues to go on,” says Nate Anderson, executive director of CVA, during a presentation to wealthy Koch-network donors at the group’s winter meeting. “The fact that two-thirds of Afghanistan War veterans say this war isn’t worth fighting tells you everything you need to know about its futility.” |
