In 2017, President Donald Trump began taking meetings with enlisted US service members who deployed to Afghanistan in order to get a better understanding of America’s longest war. “I want to sit down with some recruited guys that have been there, ” Trump told advisers, according to the national-security journalist Peter Bergen’s latest book, “Trump and His Generals: The Cost of Chaos.” “I don’t want any generals in here. I don’t want any officers, ” Trump added. “I merely want recruited guys.” One of the first group of Afghanistan ex-servicemen to speak with Trump were US Navy SEALs who spoke critically of the war. “It’s unwinnable.
