here with more on this is our fox news legal analyst, peter johnson, jr. >> good morning.etrospective at the american civil liberties museum 50 years from now when we've won the war on terror. but the war on terror continues. americans still die and are at risk. so let's look at where we are. u.s. troops in iraq, about 1650 right now in iraq. 1500 are pledged to be sent. that can go up to 3100. department of defense says u.s. air operations have cost over $855 million as of november. of course, almost 5,000 death there is. then in afghanistan, we're keeping 1,000 more soldiers there than previously planned for. currently we've got about 11,000 troops there. 2014 was the bloodiest year in afghanistan since the war began. 4600 afghan security forces killed this year alone. so social media, beheading, the risk of lone wolves here in the united states. my view is this: there is nothing moral, there is nothing moral about war. war is a horrible, difficult thing that poses great ethical dilemmas throughout the course of history. but at this point in our time, to put these number
