Never before in the history of this country have we been at war for so long, with so little positive benefit. We have killed over six thousand Americans, countless civilians, and spent 1.2 trillion dollars with nothing to show for it but extra-legal prisons filled with detainees, an exhausted military, and the suffering of widows and orphans.
Each day you continue the military occupation means the death of more American soldiers and Afghan and Iraqi people.
Each day you continue the military occupation means the expenditure of more tax dollars that should be spent on infrastructure, education, and health care.
Each day you continue the military occupation means the erosion of respect and sympathy for America in the international community.
Support our troops, bring them home.
