Mr. President, Bring Our Troops Home!
Level heads on the left and right agree (and even President Trump a few years ago), Mr. President, BRING OUR TROOPS HOME.
Saddest of all, unless we reverse course, babies conceived and born during this fruitless nation-building war will now be deployed to it by 2019.
We have wasted an enormous amount of blood and treasure in Afghanistan. Their government has zero appreciation. Let’s get out!

And it’s always a bad sign when warmongering neocons are happy.
