Again, we are in a very precarious position in the Middle East.

MFSO believes that every effort should be made to resolve this issue with no military intervention.  We need to bring all our troops home and utilize diplomacy to solve any conflicts with Iran.  We strongly oppose the presence of our military troops in the area, which only serves to increase tension   If Iraq wants the U.S. to leave their country, we should honor that request.

It is clear, with the release of the Afghanistan Papers last month, that our government has no truth, accountability, or strategy in conflict zones. We perpetuate violence, confusion and chaos.

Our presence in Iraq only deepens the suffering of the ordinary citizens and do nothing to make peace with those governments. 

We call upon President Trump and Congress to deflate this aggressive posturing and bring our troops home now.

POSITION STATEMENT ON WAR WITH IRAN, September 2019

Military Families Speak Out is opposed to the recent decision made
by the President to send troops to Saudi Arabia. There is no need to
sacrifice the lives of our loved ones in the US military over a regional
conflict between the nations of Saudi Arabia and Iran. The US should
be joining the international effort to find diplomatic solutions instead, to prevent another disastrous war in the Middle East.
