Landen and Riley are joined by Joe Taylor, a cadet who is commissioned to join the US Army after his senior year at college. The 3 of them discuss the military's past, present and future; moral values like discipline, duty, honor, and brotherhood; and other issues like the Global War on Terror, America as an idea, Hierarchy, Meritocracy, the recruiting crisis, and why the military appears to be the last trusted public institution. Be sure to tune into this wide-ranging and thoughtful conversation that should provoke, entertain, and inform, as we search for the military's crux of the matter!
