Breaking Washington's nasty war habit, w/ (Ret.) Lt. Col. Daniel Davis

Crashing the War Party

This week on the show, Dan and Kelley are joined by Danny Davis, who as a career Army soldier and officer, risked it all in 2012 to publish a searing essay taking the generals to task for lying about conditions on the ground in Afghanistan and painting a rosy picture about what we know now was an unwinnable war. We talk about that, the Army's pivot to Asia, and increasing Washington chatter around whether America will defend Taiwan against China. In the first segment, Kelley and Dan talk about that damning 60 Minutes interview in which a Saudi exile accuses MBS of running a death squad against his rivals.
