Don't Buy the War Hype: Military Operation Hasn't Brought Security to Marjah

Operation Moshtarak was supposed to be the proof-of-concept for the administration's counterinsurgency strategy in Afghanistan. Maj. General Richard Mills told NPR the U.S. is making "steady progress" in Marjah. Brave New Foundation wanted to find out the truth, so we sent a journalist to Marjah to interview locals. Despite the hype, our interviews and the casualty statistics show that Marjah is still a volatile war zone. Don't buy the war hype. The administration's war policy in Afghanistan isn't working, and it's not worth the cost. Fed up? Join us:   / rethinkafghanistan
