On today's "Hot Wash," RCD contributor John Waters talks to the authors of a new book, “Unwavering: The Wives Who Fought To Ensure No Man Is Left Behind.” It is the story of how the wives of prisoners of war and those missing in action during the Vietnam War compelled the military and the U.S. government to change policy, and focused a nation on the unfinished business of a war it would rather forget. Symbolized by the rapidly ubiquitous black POW/MIA flags around the country, the movement fundamentally changed how America thought about those lost in combat and its obligation to those left behind.Taylor Kiland is a former naval officer, the third generation in her family to serve in the Navy, and the author of two other books about our nation’s POWs.

On Friday June 23rd Yevgeny Prighozin, the leader of the Russian mercenary Wagner Group, took to Telegram to announce that he would, “march for justice” to stop the Russian defense ministry “evil”. By Saturday morning Wagner forces had claimed control of Rostov-on-Don, the Russian military headquarters near the Ukrainian border. His forces proceeded in a convoy into Russia toward Moscow, getting to within 200 km of the capital. Putin declared him a traitor and seemed destined for a bloody showdown. Then in a dizzying turn it was announced that Prighozin would be allowed to retire to Belarus and his troops disbanded. To try and understand what happened and what it means for Putin’s hold on power in Russia, "Hot Wash" host John Sorensen speaks with Kathryn Stoner, the Mosbacher Director at the Center on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law at the Hoover Institution. Her most recent book is "Russia Resurrected: Its Power and Purpose in a New Global Order." Read Kathryn Stoner's article in the Atlantic, "Why Putin Let Prigozhin Go""Follow Hot Wash on Twitter @hotwashrcdEmail comments and story suggestions to editors@realcleardefense.comSubscribe to the RealClearDefense Podcast "Hot Wash"Subscribe to the Morning Recon newsletterfor a daily roundup of news and opinion on the issues that matter for military, defense, veteran affairs, and national security.
