FF-54: Karen Kwiatkowski on the changes in the military of the USA from 1982 to now.

Karen Kwiatkowski joined the Air Force in the USA in 1982 after ROTC in college. She discusses the corruption in the military and its move away from "defense" toward war profiteering. She talks about the Cold War with the old Soviet Union, the wars with Iraq, and the "war on terror." She retired as a lieutenant-colonel in 2003. We discuss the current state of the military with its greatly lowered standard and the prospects for war today in 2023.
