In this episode we have our first guest joining us to discuss the war in Afghanistan and the recent withdrawal. Beth Bailey has had a fascinating career working in intelligence with a focus on counterinsurgency and is now a writer covering topics about veterans, antisemitism, being a homeschooling mom, and the war in Afghanistan. She's also just a lovely person. We were so glad she could join us to discuss this important topic as well as her stinkers and thinkers.
