Episode 6: Waste, Cronyism, and Broken Promises: The US War Machine
In this week's episode we highlight the perpetual problem during the War in Afghanistan of US commanders lying to policymakers and the American people in order to perpetuate the war. We also discuss some examples of the wasteful nature of the Department of Defense and how their "spend at all costs" attitude has ballooned the war effort to over $2 trillion. Also with us this week is a good friend of ours who was in Afghanistan with the army at the same time as us and later returned as a contractor. We also describe the US War Machine using Star Wars metaphors.
