The protesters remind us that the US government is not representative of the US people. It's encouraging to see so many willing to stand up against this unjust, disastrous war in Afghanistan.

The only answer which the US and its allies have to failing wars is to keep pouring money into them and hope for the best, says Stop the War's convenor Lindsey German.

The only solution now is to get out – now, not in 2014. And completely, not with thousands of troops continuing to occupy Afghanistan through 2014 and beyond. Get Out. Now.

Obama and Karzai signed a treaty for more years of war in Afghanistan, just like in Iraq -- the difference being that, the Afghan deal doesn't include an end date.

Ex-soldier Joe Glenton thinks that concientious objection to the war in Afghanistan is not only a soldier's right but a moral obligation.

I’m being sent out to stabilise a country I have no faith, interest or empathy in, to prop up a government the UN says is corrupt, in a war of choice already lost halfway across the world.

Career soldier Lieutenant-Colonel Daniel Davis is now a black sheep for his decision to accuse America's military top brass of lying about the war in Afghanistan.

The victims of Staff Sgt. Robert Bales have become an anonymous footnote, just the number 16. No one bothered to ask their ages, hobbies, or, worst of all, their names.

If he was entirely deranged, wouldn't US Marine Staff Sergeant Robert Bales have killed 16 of his fellow Americans, slaughtered his mates and then set fire to their bodies?

"I know what these boys were told by the recruiters," says ex-soldier Joe Glenton. "I held in my own nervous hand the same brochures they were shown and I took the oaths they took."

After the massacre of 16 civilians in Afghanistan, the US Army has released a new video to restore the true image of US marines as dedicated servants of humanity opposing tyranny and injustice.
