@GWAdmissions I am a proud GW grad trying to help a bright and passionate girl from Afghanistan fight for her right to education. Does GW accept asylum seeking women with disabilities? I am curious to see if at GW we also #raisehigh the dreams of refugees.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

I want to share with you a story from a 2011 trip to Afghanistan that perfectly encapsulates why our mission there was flawed by design and why, despite the heroism of our soldiers, it's time to leave.

1/ Read the whole thing. It's worth it.
