Obama passed a grim milestone. His administration has been at war longer than that of any other US president.
When Obama ascended to office, he pledged to end what has become America’s longest war.
The conflict in Afghanistan has been ongoing since 2001.
But at Obama’s last NATO press conference on Saturday in Warsaw, one reporter noted that he could end up being the only president in the nation’s history to have served two complete terms with the country at war (if the US stays in combat in Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan until the end of his second term).
And, as such, he asked Obama whether Americans should be “resigned” to living in this state of perpetual war.
Obama first responded by pointing out that there has been a shift in military operations over the last several years.
“I think you’d recognize that our military operations today in Iraq and Afghanistan are fundamentally different than the wars we were engaged in when” he came to office, he said.
