We need
your help
this week!

We’re halfway through our Spring Membership Drive, and we’ve raised just 200 of our 1,000-donation goal. That gap is real and concerning—and so is what’s at stake. Every investigation we pursue, every story we refuse to drop, is funded by readers like you. Be the reason these stories get told.

Marines with Weapons Company, 1st Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, run to security positions after offloading from a CH-53E Super Sea Stallion helicopter during a mission in Helmand province, Afghanistan, April 28, 2014. The company’s mission was to disrupt Taliban forces in Larr Village and establish a presence in the area. Five days prior to the helicopter-borne mission, the company confiscated two rocket-propelled grenades in the vicinity of the village. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Joseph Scanlan/Released)
