Description
Max Margulies is in the studio with guest host Carrie Lee for the fifth episode in our multi-part special series supporting the U.S. Army War College’s Civil-Military Relations Center.

How does public opinion affect where, how and why U.S. officials prosecute foreign policy through the use of the military?
