Ending Forever Wars: Focus on America First Policies

The Era of “Forever Wars” is Over
In a resounding shift in U.S. foreign policy, the era of “forever wars” that defined two decades of American military engagement may finally be coming to an end.
Recent polling indicates that over half of Americans are in favor of reducing overseas military commitments, signaling a clear demand for change.
Since the tragic events of September 11, 2001, American troops have been deployed in prolonged conflicts that have drained trillions of dollars from taxpayers and taken thousands of lives—all with little to show for it.
Now, under the leadership of President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, an opportunity for recalibration arises. Their administration is calling for a pragmatic strategy that prioritizes domestic needs and a strategic reduction in foreign commitments.
For too long, U.S. military engagement abroad has come at a staggering cost—both financially and in human lives. The Costs of War Project estimates that the U.S. has poured over $8 trillion into conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere, with casualties reaching nearly a million when indirect deaths are accounted for.
With a national debt nearing $34 trillion and a budget deficit approaching $2 trillion, it's clear that this unsustainable military overreach must end.
More importantly, it raises the question: Why continue pouring resources into conflicts when the safety of our own citizens hangs in the balance?
Recent developments illustrate the effectiveness of a reinvigorated focus on domestic security. For instance, the closing of migrant transit centers along Panama's Darién Gap has resulted in a dramatic 98% drop in individuals attempting to reach the United States.
This significant achievement is directly linked to the decisive policies implemented during Trump’s presidency, which emphasized border security and strict immigration enforcement.
Since then, the U.S. has witnessed a substantial increase in the enforcement actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and a significant uptick in the detention of criminal aliens—an essential component of ensuring safety and security at home.
Moreover, the administration’s approach of reallocating resources from foreign military bases to fortify the border aligns perfectly with the wishes of the American public, who express clear support for prioritizing domestic needs.
The overhaul is not simply a retreat from international commitments; it is a calculated shift toward responsible governance. By reassessing U.S. global military commitments, the administration can focus on what truly matters—protecting American lives and enhancing homeland security.
As Trump and Vance work to reposition American strength, a message is being sent: endless involvement in foreign conflicts, particularly when they yield little gain, is not the path to national security.
Instead, investing in our borders, our local communities, and our economy will ensure a more stable future.
Americans are ready for a new chapter, one that values the lives of citizens at home over distant military entanglements.
The era of “forever wars” is fast becoming a relic of the past, and with it comes the promise of a renewed focus on America's future.
