In this episode of Tent Talks, I speak with my friend Nate Johnson, who is a member of the United States Coast Guard.  Nate is currently getting his master’s degree in philosophy at the University of Connecticut in preparation for teaching ethics at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy.  We discuss Nate’s life in the Coast Guard, the moral complexities of search and rescue missions, the very concept of morality in the context of war, and the ethics of autonomous weapons systems.
