The Military Industrial Excess: The Problem With Defense
The Military Industrial Excess is streaming March 10th on Apple...
Can the U.S. be the world’s arms dealer and its policeman all at the same time? The government sure thinks so. In “The Military Industrial Excess,” we take a look at America’s everything-everywhere-all-at-once approach to foreign policy and our obsession with military interventions. Our panel discusses our over-reliance on defense spending in place of using diplomacy and other tools to maintain world order. Finally, we ask Gen. David Petraeus (Ret.) whether we’re getting our money’s worth in the form of world peace – or are we mostly just chasing our own tail?
