My pal and fellow Iraq war veteran Little Boots joins me for an in depth dissection of the recent report on active duty and veteran suicides at the Watson Cost of War Institute at Brown University.  It’s an in depth discussion on the moral, personal, and psychological damage that leads veterans to take their own lives.  Please share your thoughts on the episode with us.

Thank you all for your support with the podcast.

(1-23-21: Our podcast hosting server had some issues yesterday and early this morning.  There’s still issues streaming the episode through iTunes, but it will now download and can be heard streaming on our website.  Apologies for the inconvenience.)

As the United States embraces a new year and a new president (and his Obama era dream team), we felt inclined to discuss our predictions for American foreign policy for 2021, including Africa, the Greater Middle East to include Iraq, Afghanistan, and Yemen, and the shift to great power competition including Russia and China.

This episode references a brand new article out today from Danny at TomDispatch, which covers much of the topics in this episode and a few we didn’t cover.  Please read and share!!
