Acting Secretary of Defense: ‘We are not a people of perpetual war’
(Worthy News) – Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller in a letter Friday to the Defense Department stated that the end America’s nearly two-decade-long war with Al Qaeda is close, and that the U.S. is looking to “transition our efforts from a leadership to supporting role” in that conflict.
“We are not a people of perpetual war – it is the antithesis of everything for which we stand and for which our ancestors fought,” Miller wrote. “All wars must end.”
Miller, who was named to the position Nov. 9 after President Trump fired Mark Esper from that role, also said in the letter that the U.S. is “on the verge of defeating Al Qaeda and its associates.” But “we must avoid our past strategic error of failing to see the fight through to the finish,” he said.
