On October 7, 2010, the Afghanistan War will enter its 10th year. We’re fighting to stop this brutal, futile conflict, but we need your help. Maintaining a network of contacts on the ground in Afghanistan and an ongoing campaign here in the U.S. is expensive.
For almost a decade, we’ve asked a very small slice of the population—military families—to shoulder the heaviest burdens for U.S. policies in that country. As we start Year Ten, an increasing number of veterans are telling us that the war isn’t making us safer and it’s not worth the cost. Here’s just a few of their stories.

Holding Trump accountable for his illegal war on Iran
The devastating American and Israeli attacks have killed hundreds of Iranians, and the death toll continues to rise.
As independent media, what we do next matters a lot. It’s up to us to report the truth, demand accountability, and reckon with the consequences of U.S. militarism at this cataclysmic historical moment.
Trump may be an authoritarian, but he is not entirely invulnerable, nor are the elected officials who have given him pass after pass. We cannot let him believe for a second longer that he can get away with something this wildly illegal or recklessly dangerous without accountability.
We ask for your support as we carry out our media resistance to unchecked militarism. Please make a tax-deductible one-time or monthly donation to Truthout.
