HM 1121 Summary

• Urges Congress to repeal the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) and end the war in Afghanistan.

• Notes the 2001 AUMF has been invoked over 41 times to deploy U.S. Armed Forces to over 19 countries since 2001, far beyond its original scope.

• Documents the human and financial costs of post-9/11 wars: over 7,000 service members killed, 53,000 wounded, 1.1 million veterans with service-related disabilities, and $6.4 trillion in spending.

• Requests that any future military authorizations include country-specific and mission-specific language with automatic sunsets requiring periodic review and approval votes.

• Directs memorial copies be sent to the President, congressional leadership, and Florida's U.S. Congressional delegation.
