On
Foreign Entanglements, Rob and Ed talk about
women in the military. They rebut the argument that women can’t serve in the US Infantry because it’s full of
testosterone-fueled brutes. Rob and Ed turn to the the Marine Corps’ efforts to recruit
gay people. They then move to a conversation about Ed’s book, which investigates the problem of the
“warrior ethos” in the military services. This leads to a discussion of
Iraq War III, and the best tactics for fighting ISIS. Finally, they explore what the US Army can learn from
Burning Man.
