President Obama spoke before the UN General Assembly on Tuesday and spoke of trying to shift America away from what he called our “perpetual war footing.” Are these echoes of President Eisenhower’s warning about the military industrial complex? Our guest is Andrew Bacevich author of “Breach of Truth: How Americans Failed Their Soldiers And Their Country.” This is an excerpt from The David Feldman Show.
On Thursday President Obama delivered a major address on national security. He touched on Drones, Gitmo, Civil Liberties and Perpetual War. We discuss this and much more with Ben Armbruster who is National Security Editor for ThinkProgress.org at the Center for American Progress Action Fund. If national security issues like Gitmo and Benghazi seem confusing we promise after today’s show you will understand everything you need to know. Also Paul Dooley, Jeremy S. Kramer, Mike McShane, and Hal Lublin. And new music from Will Ryan And The Cactus County Cowboys.
