Extends to the armed forces. A new Pew survey indicates that one in three American veterans of the post-9/11 military believes that waging war in Iraq and Afghanistan was a mistake:
Just half of all post-9/11 veterans say that, given the costs and benefits to the U.S., the war in Afghanistan has been worth fighting. A smaller share (44%) says the war in Iraq has been worth it. Only one-third (34%) say both wars have been worth fighting, and a nearly identical share (33%) say neither has been worth the costs.
Meanwhile, almost two-thirds of the country wants troop levels in Afghanistan to be reduced immediately.
