Get Afghanistan Right

By: Harry Waisbren

Get Afghanistan Right is a very exciting campaign from Brave New films that I will be watching closely. The effort "oppose[s] military escalation in Afghanistan and support[s] non-military solutions to the conflict", which is particularly important considering British commanders even are openly arguing that Afghanistan is unwinnable. Even our Republican Secretary of Defense Robert Gates has been spelling out some of the same worries from Get Afghanistan Right.

Check out the video below from the Rachel Maddow Show discussing the effort, and get involved!
