We Are Not Your Soldiers

A first-of-its-kind analysis by The Intercept found that in the Army, women are more likely to be killed by their fellow service members than by enemy combatants, in a reversal of the threat soldiers are trained to face. Between 2011 and August 2025, at least 41 women died by homicide in the Army — more than half of them at the hands of other service members or veterans. Using Defense Department manpower data to calculate per capita death rates, The Intercept found that active-duty Army women face a higher risk of homicide than male soldiers, the opposite of national and global trends.

We Are Not Your Soldiers looks forward to engaging in dialogue with many students in their classes and organizations during the fall and spring academic semesters of 2026/27. Scheduling is on now for class visits. Where possible we will be there in person but can always speak via remote technology as well. At this moment in our country, these presentations and the discussions around them are more relevant than ever.

>> Schools are opening and requests for speakers are coming in. We’ll be sending you more about this soon. Can you help with a donation toward speakers’ stipends? Your generous donation will help as we get more requests from educators than ever as the Trump regime daily commits increasingly aggressive and dangerous actions against brown people especially as well as all people within our borders and throughout the world.

U.S. troops are reaching their breaking point as they say recent orders challenge their moral beliefs. An increasing number of American service members are becoming uncomfortable with their orders under President Trump, and are trying to leave the military.

We are fortunate that one of the professors whose classes we visited in April shared with us this summer the papers written by her students following presentations. We now would like to share one of them with you.

Your support means a lot for us as we look forward to an active Fall semester. As school hasn’t even started yet, we haven’t even begun our outreach to educators. But, we’ve already received two exciting invitations — one to facilitate a Q&A to two college student organizations doing a military-connected film screening and another to three community college classes. Your contributions make all this possible as educators, students and schools are not charged for our presentations. Aside from our very minimal operating expenses small stipends are given to the veterans who speak.

First as a Marine and then as a journalist, I spent years tied to Afghanistan. I returned one last time to speak to a former enemy in search of answers, and perhaps closure.

Ann Wright: "I appeal to the consciences of U.S. Air Force, Navy and Marine pilots who fly the bombers and attack aircraft and to Navy, Air Force and Army personnel who command land and sea-based missile units and those who plan these attacks, to stop these criminal actions. Save Your Soul, Your Conscience, Your Sanity—STOP THE BOMBINGS!"
