A conservative veterans’ group backed by the Koch family is launching a multimillion-dollar ad blitz in three presidential battleground states Thursday, seeking to tap into rising public support for withdrawing all American troops from Afghanistan.
The appeal organized by Concerned Veterans for America — “Tell Washington it’s time to bring our troops home!” — marks a new and more aggressive effort to roust voters in both parties to demand an end to the United States’ longest war, which has killed nearly 2,400 U.S. troops since 2001, including two more who died in a blast last weekend.

The ad campaign is set to air in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania — swing states that are being targeted based on research indicating that President Donald Trump’s unfulfilled pledge to end America’s “endless wars” resonated strongly in 2016.
The ad features five veterans urging voters to demand an end to what one calls a “mismanaged war in Afghanistan that our leaders haven’t told the truth about” and has cost taxpayers an estimated $1 trillion dollars.
