End of surge in Afghanistan calls for a national dictionary
The editorial argues definitions like stimulus and surge have warped meaning from Washington to citizens. It recalls 2009 troop increases, a planned withdrawal, and the aim to end the war, noting 1,500 deaths, 12,000 wounded, costs near half a trillion dollars, and lasting engagement since 2001. The piece advocates ending the surge and war to focus on domestic priorities.
