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.

The future of independent journalism is uncertain, and the consequences of losing it are too grave to ignore. To ensure Truthout remains safe, strong, and free, we need to raise $33,000 in the next 2 days. Every dollar raised goes directly toward the costs of producing news you can trust.
Please give what you can — because by supporting us with a tax-deductible donation, you’re not just preserving a source of news, you’re helping to safeguard what’s left of our democracy.
