Letter to the editor: Why aren’t the troops on their way home?

To the editor:

So the war is terminated and the administration does not need to go to Congress to get further authorization. And we have won, or so the administration tells us, and decisively at that. Why aren’t our troops and sailors headed back home? If they are defeated, have no recourse against us, are in a state of collapse, then none of our enlisted people should be in any harm’s way. Right?

It’s so nice that our “brave” representatives and senators just go along with this bull. Or has the government thrown some $25B at this war and it continues on.
