In February 2007, Arkin responded to an NBC Nightly News report on U.S. soldiers in Iraq who said they were frustrated by antiwar sentiment at home, and especially by people who say they support the troops, but not the war. In his Washington Post blog, Arkin wrote, “We pay the soldiers a decent wage, take care of their families, provide them with housing and medical care and vast social support systems and ship obscene amenities into the war zone for them, we support them in every possible way, and their attitude is that we should in addition roll over and play dead, defer to the military and the generals and let them fight their war, and give up our rights and responsibilities to speak up because they are above society?”

From 1985 to 2002, He wrote a column for The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists that was dubbed”the “Last Word”, and co-authored a bi-monthly publication published by the Natural Resources Defense Council called the “Nuclear Notebook.”
