Justin Amash NOT a neocon, but vote to defund still Afghan War fails.

Votes on pulling out of Afghanistan:

This really sucks.

Why is the US occupation of Afghanistan so popular?

If I'm not mistaken, there were more people in favor of pulling last year than there are this year.

I'm an idiot. He's NOT a neocon. Thanks GOD.
Here's an explanation straight from Amash' Facebook page:

Here's the roll call for Amend. 232, which defunds Afghanistan ops. It was not a policy bill to end the war. I would support that. Instead, it cut funding to a level that Rep. Nadler (D-NY-08) claimed would allow for safe withdrawal. His word cannot be the final analysis for a new Rep, and it wouldn't have been if I didn't have 600 other amendments to review. I voted no. "Present" is for genuine procedural concerns.
