In this episode we have a conversation with reporter Jasper Craven about his new book, <a href="https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/God-Forgives-Brothers-Dont/Jasper-Craven/9781668087190?fbclid" rel="noopener noreferrer">God Forgives, Brothers Don't: The Long March of Military Education and the Making of American Manhood</a>, which is a made-for-KYE feat of research that offers a fascinating way into perennial themes of this show: masculinity, U.S. empire, the relationship between violence and civilization, and the surprising camp of conservatism. Along the way we discuss Donald Trump, the mob, Peter Brian Hegseth, Graham Platner, and more.
