As of June 7, 2010, the Afghanistan is officially the longest war in American history. It began October 7, 2001 and has not ended yet. Before that, the Vietnam War was the longest war in American history. It lasted 103 months.

Others claim the Korean War is the longest because it never officially ended, we only signed a cease fire with them.
