Victor Manuel Agosto (born May 13, 1985) is an American anti-war activist and a former United States Army private.

Agosto was born in Miami, Florida,[1] the son of a Honduran mother and a Puerto Rican father.

In the last months of the deployment, Agosto began to have strong feelings of guilt over his involvement in an "imperialist occupation."

Agosto's Estimated Termination of Service (ETS) date was August 3, 2009, but he was stop-lossed[2] in early 2009 so he could deploy with his unit to Afghanistan.

During the sentencing phase of the proceedings, Agosto stated that he thought future courts would rule that the war in Afghanistan is illegal.

He was demoted to the rank of Private, stripped of two thirds of his pay for a month, and sentenced to thirty days in jail.

Agosto was discharged from the Army on October 20, 2009 and was barred from re-entering the Fort Hood Military Reservation.
