Dear Jenifer,
</p>
<p>Tomorrow is Veterans Day, the 10th Veterans Day since the Afghanistan War began.</p>
<p>The burden of this brutal, futile war falls heaviest on a very small slice of the population: military members and their families. Many of them think that this war is immoral, and that makes fighting in it a weight they'll have to carry their whole lives. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://act.bravenewfilms.org/go/371?akid=1324.839799.0SpvdW&t=4">Our new video features the voices of some of these veterans, urging us to rethink the burden we're laying on troops</a>. </p>
<p>Rethink Afghanistan is partnering with the Truth Commission on Conscience in War to help lift some of this burden. We're pushing to expand the rights of veterans who refuse to serve in specific wars on moral grounds. Right now you have to oppose all wars, ever, to be granted conscientious objector status. That's silly--you don't have to be a pacifist to think it's morally wrong to be fighting an endless war in Afghanistan. You can learn more about this push to honor troops' consciences at <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://act.bravenewfilms.org/go/373?akid=1324.839799.0SpvdW&t=5">the Truth Commission on Conscience in War's website</a>. </p>

this war. My conscience won't allow it." Let's all remember what we're asking of our troops on this Veterans Day. </p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Derrick Crowe, Robert Greenwald<br>and the Brave New Foundation team</p>
