We’re Still at War: Photo of the Day for February 10, 2012


Officers with the 82nd Airborne Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team complete a team obstacle course on February 3, 2012, at Fort Bragg, N.C., during a Prop Blast, a traditional rite-of-passage for officers new to the division. During this phase of the event, teams must move the tire and a simulated casualty down a muddy slope, across a muddy slough, and up the other side. (US Army photo by Sgt. Michael J. MacLeod)

The truth needs defenders. Be one.

Tomorrow is the last day of our Spring Membership Drive, and we need to raise 1,000 new donations to fund the critical investigations our team is hard at work on. As of today, we’re still less than halfway there—and we can’t afford to fail!

Our nonprofit newsroom is funded by donors from every state in the union—blue, red, and purple, all part of a community of readers who care about the future of our democracy.

We’re independent from corporations and uninfluenced by those in power. Our commitment is solely to the truth. That’s only possible because of readers like you, who believe in the importance of independent, fearless journalism.

Be the reason these stories get told. Make a donation today.
