Welcome back to the ModState Podcast where the goal is to "Create Civil Conversation".
In the wake of the assassination of an Iranian General tensions with Iran continue to mount. The surgical assassination of General Soleimani has led to the Iranians vowing retribution, the Iraqi Parliament expelling foreign troops from Iraq and President Donald Trump threatening the elimination of cultural sites in Iran.
Now is the time to get the perspective of US Military Veterans who explain the process of military procedure, the geopolitical landscape of this corner of the Middle East and explain how troops maintain order through upholding their duty by not adhering to unlawful orders. This is a tense time but both John and Nate show listeners how to engage in disagreement and find common ground.
