Between 1980 and 1997, the average age of active-duty personnel increased from 25 to 27. And the percentage of high-school males who said they will "definitely" join the military declined from 12 percent in the mid-1980s to 8 percent." [more]

This website is a tribute to Why War?, one of the nation's first and most innovative post-9/11 student antiwar organizations. Born on October 22, 2001 at Swarthmore College, we were a handful of freshmen and sophmores who vocally opposed the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere. And now, seven years later, we are retiring this website as we focus our efforts on new directions. We hope that it continues to serve future activists and we remain confident that humanity is on the verge birthing a better world.
