Press Release
Issues: Defense
U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ), Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, released the following statement today on the need for a strategy in Afghanistan:
"More than six months after President Trump's inauguration, there still is no strategy for success in Afghanistan. Eight years of a "don't lose' strategy has cost us lives and treasure in Afghanistan. Our troops deserve better. When the Senate takes up the National Defense Authorization Act in September, I will offer an amendment based on the advice of some our best military leaders that will provide a strategy for success in achieving America's national interests in Afghanistan."
