Veterans of the war in Afghanistan are telling a commission that their experience was not only hell, but but also confounding and demoralizing. The Pentagon expects it to take about two years to restore the monument to its original site at the cemetery, an official told The Associated Press. The sculpture honoring Confederate fighters and the separatist movement was removed from the miltiary cemetery in 2023, but will be restored soon. The commission will hold a multipanel hearing on what for many is a defining point of the war: President Barack Obama’s troop surge in late 2009. By Hope Hodge Seck
