Our troops have been fighting in Afghanistan for nearly thirteen years. Over three times longer than it took us to win WWII.
We've fought for nearly twelve years in Iraq, yet because of deeply embedded regional, tribal, religious, and political differences there and in Afghanistan, the prospects for a sustained peace are non existent.
Violence will continue, blood will be shed regardless of whether we keep our troops there or not.
Now some are calling for all out war against ISIS. As if our unsuccessful strategies in Afghanistan and Iraq would guarantee victory over an even more aggressive opponent.
Don't sacrifice another American serviceman. Bring our soldiers home now!
