About this episode
The current political dust-up over the President's mishandling of expressing his sympathies (or his interpretation of what sympathies would be like if he were capable of healthy human emotions) is revealing a bigger problem in American life. It is very hard to have an honest, open conversation about our military affairs because any critic of the military is immediately deemed buy their opponents to be unpatriotic. On this episode, Kori Schake of Stanford, Rosa Brooks of Georgetown, Ed Luce of the Financial Times, and Deep State Radio host David Rothkopf discuss the controversy and the deeper underlying issues.
