Default Afghanistan

Not starting a debate weather right or wrong. If we should stay or come home, they announced we have been in afghanistan for nine years now on the news this morning. My question is, have we been in war or conflict longer?

Not a shooting war, it's longer than WWI and WWII combined (US participation).

don't forget about that little conflict in the American Southwest - US v. Apache = 1840-1886 with no more than 90 days in a row of "peace."

All the "news" outlets have been saying 9 years lately for some reason....

maybe because we were already doing covert ops in 2000?

Well if they are considering covert ops then we never left the middle east.
