The U.S. eliminated al Qaeda and shattered ISIS after the two-decade mission across the Middle East, but those successes cost many lives and distracted from other threats.
The U.S. launched what it famously called "the War on Terror" after the simultaneous terrorist attacks against the World Trade Center and Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001.

The War on Terror focused on central Asia with a 20-year mission in Afghanistan as well as missions against groups including al Qaeda and ISIS in Iraq, Somalia, Yemen, Libya and Syria.
