Prior to his passing on Friday, Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg endorsed the work of Bring Our Troops Home, a non-profit led by veterans of the Global War on Terror committed to ending America’s endless wars in the Middle East and Africa. This organization is the spearhead of the Defend the Guard movement.
During an October 16, 2020 interview with Antiwar.com Editorial Director Scott Horton, Ellsberg said:
“We’ve heard so much about – for the last 40 years – support the troops. In those 40 years the way to support the troops was to bring them home from the war they were fighting and should not have been fighting. You’ve brought to my attention recently, Scott, a group called Bring Our Troops Home. Sounds very good to me.”
