Eric Draitser and Brian Becker discuss the 2017 NDAA

The Washington Consensus for War

Eric Draitser and Brian Becker discuss the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and the political implications of the bill, including the nature of the war consensus in Washington, and the fact that Obama and the Republicans are more partners than adversaries. Draitser outlines the pervasive influence of the military-industrial complex in all aspects of US political life, and the dangerous path down which it continues to lead the US.
