HELENA — Some American troops are making their way home for the final time as the United States pulls back from the War in Afghanistan. Former President Donald Trump initially set a deadline of May 2021 for all troops to withdraw from Afghanistan. Instead, President Biden pushed that back to September 11th, 2021 and the Department of Defense has begun withdrawing the troops as of this week.
