8/27/21 Peter Van Buren: There Will Be Another Afghanistan
Scott talks with Peter Van Buren about the situation in Afghanistan. Van Buren explains that many of the people tasked with working on the Afghanistan War were, in fact, working to cover up their own role in the war. And that these individual failures played off each other to create one massive failure. On top of that, Van Buren argues that policymakers were entirely removed from the costs of the war. And because of that, Van Buren predicts we will soon find ourselves in a similar conflict.

- We Meant Well by Peter Van Buren
- The Ghost of Tom Joad by Peter Van Buren
