John Sopko, Director, Office of the Special Inspector general on Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR)
The Hill, Washington, D.C., December 9, 2019
“You’ve got the power in Charleston [West Virginia] to say, ‘We will not permit our national guard to be federalized unless there’s a declaration of war.' They owe it to their citizens and their constituents to take care of them and protect them from things like that. And I would have their ass if they didn’t.”
Decorated Vietnam War Hero
"We've heard so much about—for the last 40 years—support the troops. In those 40 years the way to support the troops was to bring them home from the war they were fighting and should not have been fighting. You've brought to my attention recently...a group called BringOurTroopsHome.US. Sounds very good to me."
Pentagon Papers Whistleblower
“Discarding this Constitutional first principle that helped forge the backbone of the rule of law in our Republic has resulted in grave consequences. Thousands of American lives have been lost in unnecessary Middle Eastern conflicts, devastating our military families while fatiguing our country’s defenses—all while draining trillions from the pockets of taxpayers.”
Founder of BringOurTroopsHome.US
“We have a President willing to spend whatever political capital is necessary to end wars in Syria and Yemen and eventually Afghanistan and Iraq. We encourage Senator Risch to lead from his position as Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee and vote to bring our troops home from the endless wars.”
West Virginia Representative
BringOurTroopsHome.US is dedicated to ending American involvement in endless wars in the Middle East and bringing our troops home. Further, we are committed to advocating for a change in U.S. foreign policy that does not automatically default to military intervention. And finally, we insist that the Constitution of the United States be respected and enforced, requiring a formal Declaration of War by Congress — as mandated by Article I of the Constitution — before U.S. military forces may be legitimately deployed.
