Local veterans reflect on 'moral obligation' to Afghans

Michael Blecker, a Vietnam veteran and the executive director of Swords to Plowshares, and policy analyst Tyler Solorio, an Army veteran deployed to Afghanistan in 2011, reflect on the crisis in Afghanistan. They see parallels between the U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam and its withdrawal from Afghanistan and worry about the lasting effects of two decades of military engagement. Veterans, they said, have a moral obligation to advocate for Afghans.
