Description
This week, Nate and Francis discuss a recent CNN article that examines how the U.S. Government might be on the hook for billions of dollars in settlements or lawsuits if the war in Afghanistan ends on time. Why? Because the DOD has kept issuing contracts for services in Afghanistan that extend to 2026 and in some cases beyond. The CNN article is here: https://edition.cnn.com/2021/03/29/politics/pentagon-contractors-afghanistan/index.html DadChat ends at 9:40! For this week’s bonus: Francis keeps getting stupid cold-pitch emails from a veteran thought leader and, despite having been told to listen to the show, he simply will not quit. So, to make sense of the situation, he consulted with Joe Kassabian and Carey Shockey. This episode gets to the bottom of the vet-fluencer phenomenon, why it's so uniformly right-wing or crypto-right-wing, and why you shouldn't listen to these people.
