Michael McCaul actually said...

The United States has been in Afghanistan for almost 19 years. It is the longest war in the history of the United States.

The one lesson I have learned over the last 20 years is we are very good at breaking things.

I have always thought that was our No. 1 mission in country was to stop terror threats from attacking the homeland.

We could no longer sit back and wait while our enemies plotted attacks thousands of miles away.
