              KPFA radio launched this website in an effort to put a human face on the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Only by truly listening to the stories of soldiers who've come home, can we appreciate the realities of war and what we can do to help.

Veterans for Common Sense

                 Veterans for Common Sense (VCS) was formed in August 2002 as a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization by war veterans who believe that we, the people of the United States of America, are most secure when our country is free, strong, and responsibly engaged with the world. Our mission, based on the pragmatic ideals of the American patriot Thomas Paine, is to raise the unique and powerful voices of veterans so that our military, veterans, freedom, and national security are protected and enhanced, for ourselves and for future generations.

The Troops Out Now Coalition condemns the recent announcement that President Obama has ordered 17 thousand more troops to Afghanistan.

The people voted overwhelmingly for an end to war and occupation. The world demands that it end. Most importantly, the people of Afghanistan, Iraq, and Palestine demand that it end.

To send more U.S. soldiers to Afghanistan amidst new revelations of U.S. military war crimes, and at a time when working people here a facing an unprecedented economic crisis is an outrage.   Every day, thousands are being laid off or thrown out of their homes - we need money for housing and jobs, not for war and endless occupation.

Escalating the war in Afghanistan is a betrayal of the faith that the people put in the new president to stop Bush's war on the world.

We must continue to mobilize to demand:
No new troops!

· Immediate withdrawal of all U.S. troops from Iraq and Afghanistan

· Money for Human Needs Not War!

Join the Troops Out Now Coalition and many other groups at the March on the Pentagon, Saturday March 21 and the March on Wall St. April 3 &4
