Living in the USA - Andrew Bacevich: The Middle East Conflicts Memorial; plus Katha Pollitt on Abortion & Men

Andrew Bacevich: The Middle East Conflicts Memorial; plus Katha Pollitt on Abortion & Men

06/07/19 • 57 min

Living in the USA
Over 8,000 names are engraved on the Middle East Conflicts Wall Memorial, and each year, more are added. The wall is unlike any other war memorial in the US -- particularly because of its location: not in Washington DC but in Marseilles, Illinois, a small prairie town with a population of about 5,000. We talk with historian Andrew Bacevich about his recent visit to the memorial. Also: Isn't abortion rights a women's issue? Katha Polllitt says, 'no' and explains what men should be doing differently to help women and themselves. Plus: Michael Ames on Bowe Bergdahl & the disaster of the Afghan war--his new book is "American Cypher". And Ilhan Omar on John Nichols’ new podcast from The Nation, “Next Left.”
