TTT#24-Veterans/HUAC

Download this episode (56 min)
When the gear comes off and discipline and alertness wane, veterans have to live with what their humanity had to stuff while killing. Record suicides, marriage break-ups, homelessness and addiction are plaguing returning warriors.
TTT's Andy Driscoll and Lynnell Mickelsen talk with local veterans and officials assigned to their health and re-entry to discuss how “supporting the troops” doesn’t always extend to their lives after combat. GUESTS: MAJ. CYNTHIA RASMUSSEN, RN MSN CANP – Army Combat Stress Officer/Sexual Assault Response Coordinator; GUY GAMBILL – Veteran, Gulf War I, and Advocacy Coordinator Council on Crime and Justice; SSGT. CHERISHA SANDERS, Iraq War Medic; and SpFC Isaac Schugel, MP, USAR.

STEALTH FASCISM? HUAC REDUX? House Members Vote to Criminalize Dissent! (HR 1955)
The US House has voted 400+ to few to create a new 50s-style witch-hunting National Commission on the Prevention of Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism. How did such a radical measure pass with the support of our DFL representatives? We’ll ask them – if they’ll answer. GUESTS: PETER ERLINDER – Constitutional Law Expert/Law Professor, Wm. Mitchell. INVITED but not appearing: US REP. KEITH ELLISON and US REP. BETTY McCOLLUM.
