(MENAFN- Khaama Press) A group of veterans of America is running a campaign aiming to press US lawmakers to get out of Afghanistan, the US-based military news outlet Task & Purpose reported on Friday.
Five US veterans who served in the military occupation of Afghanistan
speaks against the longest war in American history, in the 30-second television
ad, which is to be displayed to the public in Michigan state soon enough.
Anderson said, 'leaving our forces behind only puts them at further risk
in a country where we don't have strategic objectives to achieve.
We assassinated Osama Bin Laden, the leader of al-Qaeda, in a special
mission in Pakistan back in 2011, and currently, the Trump administration
supports peace talks with the Taliban in Doha Qatar. In return, the US forces should
pull out from Afghanistan with or without a deal, is what the Taliban demand.
The ongoing was surpassed 18 years, the longest war of its kind in
modern American history, albeit under a different name – Resolute Support,
purportedly a NATO-led mission to train, advise and assist Afghan security
forces.
According to reports, more than 2,400 American troops killed and tens of
thousands wounded, ignoring the number of Afghan civilians, government forces
and insurgent groups. Additionally, the US government has spent nearly $2
trillion on the war in Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, the Taliban and the US have resumed peace talks aimed at
ending the war, though their outcome is far from certain.
This TV ad may influence US lawmakers and America's general public as the prolonged Afgan war enters a new phase where negotiations and talks are the new strategies to come to a resolution.
