It is time to end America’s longest war.

It is time for American troops to come home from Afghanistan.

We went to Afghanistan because of the horrific attacks on 9/11 that happened 20 years ago.

That cannot explain why we should remain there in 2021.

Rather than return to war with the Taliban, we have to focus on the challenges of the future.
