Veterans Reintegration and Political Impact

Desi Lydic sits down with Texas’s 2nd District Representative Colin Allred to discuss his campaign for Senate seat against Ted Cruz, his plans for restoring women's reproductive rights, and the importance of paternity leave. Also, executive producers and writers, Sebastian Junger and Ken Harbaugh, join Desi to talk about their award-winning documentary film, “Against All Enemies.” They chat about the dangers of U.S. veterans joining domestic terrorist groups, how some January 6th participants were also former veterans, and how members of these groups tend to have a desire for combat that they may not have seen during their time in service.
