Скачать или смотреть LIVE: Iraq and Afghanistan Vets BREAK SILENCE on TRUMP WAR

We are at war. The Republicans and Trump Administration are hell-bent on twisting that word to avoid oversight and accountability but we are bringing home American service members in caskets and having F-15s shot out of the air while dropping thousands of weapons on Iran. It’s a war. That means it is Congress's Constitutional duty to ask questions and conduct oversight. They refuse to do their duty. Meanwhile our sons and daughters are being sent into modern combat without any clear reasons or end goals. What we are getting is a smirking Secretary of Defense, talk about long-term economic payoffs, and dismissal of our casualties by Trump. We must demand they follow our laws. This week Fred is joined by the CEO of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, Ky Hunter, who was testifying on Capitol Hill just this week. They discuss the latest war, the impact on veterans, and what we must prioritize for our service members and their families.  Dr. Kyleanne Hunter is CEO of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, and a dedicated and lifelong servant leader.
