Introducing The Weight: a new documentary from the Quincy Institute and @VetsFP
The people who have fought America's longest wars are rarely in the room when the next one gets debated.
The Weight asks veterans where their voices belong on issues of war and peace.

Powerful documentary about the impact of the Global War on Terror -- which has come to define a generation of American foreign policy -- on the lives of those who served.
Through the voices of 11 GWOT veterans, this 22-minute documentary asks what service means in a country where just 1% serve -- and what that divide means for the wars America fights next.

I cannot recommend this documentary enough. If you want to understand the costs of war from the point of view of those who fight them stop what your doing and watch this now.

A ceasefire is in place, but families are still paying the price.
Gas up 30%. Fertilizer up 50%.
Higher costs at the pump and the grocery store aren’t going away anytime soon.

1. Weekend reading as Iran talks unfold in Islamabad: Our own Brandon Carr lays out why seizing Iranian islands is mostly risk, little reward in @NavalInstitute. The Vets in FP Initiative is an open forum and debate is welcome.

We led a veterans letter two days ago warning against new regime change wars. We’ve seen how this ends. War shouldn't be made by the whims of a few. It requires Congress. Troops are at risk for an objective never clearly explained to the American people.

The @QuincyInst @VetsFP led a letter from veterans urging @realDonaldTrump to avoid wars with Iran or Latin America while diplomacy remains an option. The past 25 years show the costs of wars of choice to military readiness, veterans, & global stability.

1. Over the past year, we built the Veterans in Foreign Policy Initiative around one simple belief: those who fight America’s wars should have a voice in the debates that lead to them. Since 9/11, over 3 million all-volunteer veterans served. Their voices belong in the room.

8. Because the fate of Afghan interpreters who served alongside US troops remains a deeply important issue for many veterans, we featured @shawnjvandiver of @afghanevac, former interpreter Rahmat Mokhtar, & expert Jessica Bradley Rushing.
