Which controversial military action did Shultz oppose during his time as Secretary of State?

  • Vietnam War

  • Iraq War

  • U.S. aid to Contras

  • Invasion of Grenada

Answer

U.S. aid toContras, a group of anti-communist rebels in Nicaragua, was a controversial military action that Shultz opposed during his tenure as Secretary of State. His reservations stemmed from concerns about the Contras' human rights abuses and the legality of covert U.S. support, which ultimately led to the Iran-Contra Affair.
