It has been too long that America has been at war. Take the current war in Afghanistan. It started in 2001 and continues today some eighteen years later with 15,000 soldiers still in the field fighting and dying with no end in sight.
But this is not the only major war we have been involved in: 1914–1918 WWI, 1939–1945 WWII, 1950–1953 Korean War, 1962–1975 Viet Nam War, Iraq invasion, 2003–, et.al. The list goes on.
Why? What have we gained? We have lost generations of young men too numerous to count. Enough is enough. It is time that we insist that America stop fighting wars. We need to live in a world of peace.
Politicians campaign with promises of peace. But once elected, the wars continue unabated. The general attitude among Americans is that we prefer peaceful pursuits, while our foreign policy establishment revels in perpetual global engagement. You have a voice, make it heard.
