20 years of war is more than enough. Troops out now.

Here is some easy math regarding the wars that were spawned after September 11, 2001.

We have not been at war for just 13 years. 

The Iraq war lasted 8 years, 8 months, 3 weeks and 4 days.

The war in Afghanistan began on October 7, 2001  and is ongoing. Today the Afghan war is 11 years, 11 months and 4 days old.

That is a total of 19 years, 19 months, 3 weeks and 8 days.

That is equal to 20 years, 7 months, 4 weeks and one day of war.

It is 20 years of failed nation building as well.
