Political Quotes

“Let me ask those who want to us stay. How many more -- how many thousands more Americans, daughters and sons, are you willing to risk? How long would you have them stay?

After 20 years, $1 trillion spent training and equipment, hundreds of thousands of Afghan national security and defense forces. 2,448 Americans killed. 20,722 more wounded. And untold thousands coming home with unseen trauma to their mental health. I will not send another generation of Americans to war in Afghanistan with no reasonable expectation of achieving a different outcome.”
