"Sunday marked the 17th anniversary of the start of the war in Afghanistan...Aside from a series of news articles, this 17-year milestone didn’t garner much attention around the world.

Not only is it a 'forever war,' it is also a forgotten war—particularly in America, which has stationed troops in Afghanistan for nearly two decades," writes Michael Kugelman.
