In these episodes, Thomas Krasnican and Sarah Claudy (from the Pearson Institute) interview Dr. Ron Krebs, a professor at the University of Minnesota, and Robert Ralston, a graduate student at the University of Minnesota, about their research recently published in Foreign Policy Magazine.

Part Two addresses the potential implications of the American ‘ritualistic hero worship’ of the military, and how the rhetoric and narratives associated with this practice shape national security policy through their impact on people in governmental positions. Is civilian oversight even a ‘good’ thing? By what standards? Part Two further addresses what civilians can do to stay informed in order to uphold the American democracy.
