Drift Draft

We had an interesting discussion today on how the end of the military draft has made it easier for us to go to war. The story of how we as a nation has drifted to a perpetual state of war is the topic of Rachel Maddow's book "Drift".  This book was twice recommended by Ron in past meetings, and I also recommend it. But here is a talk about the book by Rachel Maddow that might be better than the reading book. This video is cued past the introductory speakers, so it takes a little while to start. Please be patient.
