ASF 2017: The Longest War
The Longest War
Now in its 16th year, the war in Afghanistan shows no sign of ending. If anything, the Taliban are resurgent, despite additional American troop deployments and our dropping the largest non-nuclear bomb in our arsenal. Meanwhile, Al Qaeda and ISIS remain active in the region, threatening the stability of both Pakistan and Afghanistan.
