Only 17% of Americans Support the Afghanistan War
Global Research Report
17% of People in America support the war in Afghanistan. That is down from 52% in 2008.
82% of People in America are against the war.
Other latest polls discovered that 57% of People in America think the US was wrong to go into Afghanistan in the first place, and two-thirds said that they did not think the war had not been worth fighting.
The war has left 3400 Americans dead, though not all of those were troops killed in action.
Nearly 20,000 Americans have been wounded in Afghanistan badly enough to go to hospital, and several hundred thousand have suffered concussion because of things like improvised explosive devices going off near them.
The war has cost at least half a trillion dollars, and more trillions will be racked up over the next 50 years for medical care for the wounded veterans (as it should be, but everyone should be aware of all the costs).
