"All wars must end ... Ending wars requires concessions and partnership. We have met the challenge. We have given it all we have. It is time to go home now ... to all of our soldiers, our sailors," Miller wrote in a memo that he sent to all of our Defense Ministry personnel. Our pilots, Marines, Coast Guard, space professionals, and civilians: keep on being bold ... Together, we will take our nation to new heights. "
The United States remains committed to "ending the war that Al Qaeda brought to our shores in 2001 ... But we must avoid our previous strategic mistake of failing to see the fight to the end," Miller said.
He added that he was "tired of war" like many others, but "this is the crucial stage in which we transform our efforts from a leadership role to a supportive one. We are not a people of perpetual war - it (war) is the opposite of everything we stand for and for which our ancestors fought for."
Miller took over this week after President Trump sacked former Defense Secretary Mark Esper, via a Twitter message on Monday.
