The United States has lost its longest war. We went into Afghanistan in the Fall of 2001 and it is now almost 20 years later. It used to be that we called Vietnam our longest war but even if we dated our involvement in Vietnam combat as beginning in 1961, that would still make it only 14 years long. Unlike Vietnam which never was popular and was the subject of strong antiwar activities and controversy almost as soon as major combat operations commenced in early 1965, initially the war in Afghanistan enjoyed virtually unanimous national support.
