The US military and security establishment is facing a real political crisis amid the mounting opposition of the soldiers who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. Previous reports had mentioned that US soldiers who return from Iraq suffer from psychological traumas.

Data recorded growing frustration among US soldiers, especially those who served in Afghanistan, after the Taliban, whom they were originally sent to fight, re-assumed power.

A study conducted by the Responsible Statecraft Institute indicated that opinion polls reveal that 64% of the US soldiers who served in Iraq are dissatisfied and feel that the war was not worth fighting.

As for the war on Afghanistan, the result came close to Iraq’s, with 58% considering it futile.

According to the study, the importance of these indicators is that some of those who served in the two wars and later turned to oppose them are now candidates in the Democratic and Republican parties.

After the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan, President Joe Biden received at a military base the remains of the soldiers killed in the Kabul attack. The ceremony’s staggering silence was broken from time to time by the crying of families. It is worth mentioning that the US President has undergone a lot of criticism over his handling of the Afghan crisis.
