[NYT] Our very strange alliance with a conservative veterans group

We have had some pretty vicious political fights with the conservative Concerned Veterans for America, and to be honest, we will be on opposite sides of issues 99 percent of the time.

But there is one issue - a big one - that we're aligned on: ending our involvement in endless war.

The New York Times wrote a piece about our odd alliance today, and it's worth reading. It's also in the print edition which is pretty cool, too. Here's a snippet:

But then the two found an unanticipated policy bridge, and have now gone on to work together to persuade Congress to finally revoke authorizations of military force passed after Sept. 11, 2001, which both believe have been bent and stretched to justify wars far beyond Congress's intentions nearly two decades ago.

This is a big moment in the fight to end the "Forever Wars" that too many administrations have kept us in, and save lives of many of our troops.

Read the piece and share this email with your friends.
