Hillary Clinton can be hawkish in her run for President because the right wing is stuck in war mongering.

The troops still at war for the USA has to come home. Fourteen years is ridiculous. 

The Vietnam War can be stated to have begun June 1955 under Eisenhower who sent supplies. Kennedy sent advisers and had decided against troops. Johnson was the president that sent troops in March of 1965. 

From 1955 to 1975 was a couple months short of 20 years, but, the troops were only there for less than ten years. So, the occupation of Afghanistan is second so far to that of Vietnam. 

We need to be out of there and allow the Afghans to defend their country. 

The 911 remembrance will continue no differently than Pearl Harbor. But, the continued occupation of Afghanistan doesn't even relate to September 11th anymore. 

The occupation of Afghanistan is about the Taliban. It is time to leave the region and let them settle the peace.
