It is time to Bring Our Troops Home and Repeal the AUMFs. Our participation in conflicts around the globe needs to come to an end.

We have been at “war” in Afghanistan for over 18 years now. We have children that weren’t even born at its start that are fighting over ground of their fathers and grandfathers fought over. Three generations of Soldiers have fought in Afghanistan and it is time to bring the, our participation in that conflict, and many others, to an end.

The Authorization of the Use of Military Force (AUMF) is a congressional half-measure when they know that the nation lacks the political and financial will to ensure that we fight with the intent to win. We are not united in the cause for war in America, and it is time that we stop using US Service Members to support the financial gains of the American Elite that have left the rest of us behind in their pursuit of personal wealth. American Service Members are not exchangeable for wealth.
