The American Military at 250 ft. Will Thibeau

The U.S. Military is the mightiest fighting force in history. Yet its evolution has been long and complex, and today it is suffering from the damage done by decades of social justice initiatives. Continuing a celebration the U.S.’s 250th year, American Military Project Director Will Thibeau joins Spencer Klavan to examine the pre-revolutionary origins of the Army and consider Donald Trump's efforts to correct Civil Rights-era deviations from its founding design. Plus: the significance of decorum, the often-overlooked implications of the second amendment, and more!
