Fiction writer Jamil Jan Kochai joins Fiction/Non/Fiction hosts V.V. Ganeshananthan and Whitney Terrell almost a year after U.S. troops' withdrawal from Afghanistan to talk about how the wars there will be remembered. He reflects on how growing up with Western stereotypes of Afghans made him want to revise false narratives, and also discusses how fiction's flexible forms allow him to reorient his own thinking about the stories of war-affected Afghans and diaspora. He reads from his new book, The Haunting of Hajji Hotak and Other Stories.

On Conflicts of Interest #209, Kyle Anzalone discusses the lasting impacts of America's wars in Yemen, Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan.  The coming winter in Afghanistan is expected to bring extreme hunger - and even death - to millions of Afghan children. The cause of the acute starvation facing Afghan children is America's economic war. Pressure is starting to mount on Biden to make some move to reduce the suffering in Afghanistan. However, Biden has remained willing to starve children to punish the Taliban. The American people are largely unaware of the Afghans' suffering because, since the withdrawal, major news has ceased coverage of Afghanistan.  Five million Iraqi children have been orphaned by America's three decades of warfare. Many of the parentless children live in poverty and are lucky if they are able to find work. The violence and instability created by Bush's overthrow of Saddam has led to fighting by various actors throughout the country.  The NYT reported on the Pentagon's slaughter of Syrian civilians. The reporters sifted through more than 1,000 pages of documents on airstrikes in Iraq and Syria from 2014-2018. The documents show the military has little care for the civilians it kills and never holds anyone responsible for war crimes. Saudi Arabia recently bombed the airport in Yemen's capital, Sanaa. The strike damaged communications equipment. The airport has reopened but ill-functioning equipment is causing dangerous situations with flights. The UN is calling on the Saudi-backed government of Yemen to allow the equipment to be flown in.

From the American Revolution to the Olympics and still growing, LGBTQ people have contributed to the success of American Wars, Government politics (federal and state ), Civil Rights, and many more. From those who chose to live their lives out and proud to those who keep their identity to themselves. Their work and words are engraved in the History of our country. Unfortunately, they are often not spoken about, their names are discovered in books, social media platforms, and some not at all. What can we do to acknowledge heroes of all shapes, sizes, and colors without tucking them away because of who they loved or were born to be? Joining the discussion - Jessica Wall - is a Historian who has worked for the House of Representatives and Senate, helping to teach students of all ages and backgrounds, expanding their knowledge on how the federal government works and African- American history. Adding to her area of expertise, Jessica is a communications specialist. She utilizes social media platforms to inform the public about unsung heroes who have contributed to the foundation of American life and democracy.

Novelists Nadia Hashimi and Helen Benedict join hosts V.V. Ganeshananthan and Whitney Terrell to discuss the mistakes American writers and culture made in depicting the United States' wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. In the wake of the 20th anniversary of 9/11 and President Biden's decision to pull U.S. troops out of Afghanistan, have American fiction and film truly confronted the cost of these wars, especially to civilians overseas? In this episode, Benedict discusses the persistent and problematic glamorization of conflict, and reads from her 2017 novel, Wolf Season, which is about the Iraq War and its aftermath. Then, Hashimi speaks about centering Afghan voices in her fiction and reads from her novel Sparks Like Stars, which begins in 1978 Kabul during the Saur Revolution.

This year will mark 20 years since the 9/11 terrorist attacks on our country. In this week's podcast, we want to examine America's war legacy and how it came to be.

War can be pretty stupid sometimes, but humans will come up with any reason to start fighting each other. In the first of this two-part series, we'll talk about some of the dumbest conflicts in American history.Like the show on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/OurWeirdWorldPod/Follow John on Twitter and Instagram @TheJohnHinson

The recent publication of Ron Chernow's massive biography of U.S. Grant culminates the modern historical trend to laud Grant as a general and as a president. The latter proposition has attracted critics. Not so Grant's reputation as a general, which authors such as Ed Bonekemper have praised. On May 11th, author Joseph Rose will contend that General U.S. Grant's vaunted military reputation is, in large part, undeserved. As opposed to his Personal Memoirs and the writings of his staff and other supporters, contemporary first person accounts and correspondence (often from Grant himself) convincingly show how he often blundered on the battlefield and then covered it up later. His extreme bias for or against various Union commander also damaged the country's war effort. Declarations that Grant was not tactically surprised at Shiloh or that he ordered the Army of the Cumberland to ascend Missionary Ridge at Chattanooga sent the author to the New York Public Library in search of primary source materials on these and other battles. The talk will contend that Grant, and the numerous defenders of his generalship and character, have distorted the historical record. Joseph A. Rose grew up reading his father's collection of military works (especially the West Point Atlas of American Wars), and other non-fiction. This began a life-long love of history and geography. During a career in healthcare management, he took a cross-country trip and visited battlefields of the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. Nothing was out of the ordinary, until internet discussions and debates on the Civil War Western Theater Discussion Board, demonstrated how history, especially in Ulysses S. Grant's case, could be terribly miswritten. Twelve years of research and writing have culminated in a groundbreaking book, Grant Under Fire, that comprehensively analyzes the controversies of the General's military career and after. Rigorously based on primary sources (and letting Grant convict himself by his own writing), the book is a necessary antidote to the ahistorical perspectives assumed by many past and current historians, both popular and academic. Living in New York City, Mr. Rose holds a Bachelor of Arts in Geography from the State University of New York at Albany (now the University at Albany) and a Master of Science in Industrial and Labor Relations from a joint program of Cornell University and Baruch College.

After NAFTA gutted American manufacturing, the only thing left to manufacture and export these days are bombs and missiles. When American foreign policy is guided by the lobbyists of Lockheed Martin and Raytheon, how can we expect anything other than endless wars? When “spreading democracy” is sold to the public as a patriotic endeavor just because the description sounds noble, not a lot of support is given to those that wish to examine whether or not America is actually focused on delivering democracy to foreign countries, or perhaps actually interested in something more devious. By the way, the audio quality gets better as the episodes go on.

Hollywood helped win World War II, and by that, we don’t mean John Wayne, but five of the country’s most celebrated film directors, who went to work making films for the War Department that showed Americans at war, overseas and in the skies, living, fighting, bleeding and dying. Those films changed America and changed the men who made them, including John Ford, William Wyler, John Huston, George Stevens, and Frank Capra. It was the best of times and the worst of times for Hollywood before the war. The box offices were booming. But the industry’s relationship with Washington was decidedly uneasy. Hearings and investigations into allegations of corruption and racketeering were multiplying, and hanging in the air was the insinuation that the business was too foreign, too Jewish, too “un-American” in its values and causes. Could an industry this powerful in shaping America’s mindset really be left in the hands of this crew? Following Pearl Harbor, Hollywood had the chance to prove its critics wrong and did so with vigor, turning its talents and its business over to the war effort to an unprecedented extent. No industry professionals played a bigger role in the war than five of America’s most legendary directors: Ford, Wyler, Huston, Capra, and Stevens. Between them they were on the scene of almost every major moment of America’s war, and in every branch of service army, navy, and air force; Atlantic and Pacific; from Midway to North Africa; from Normandy to the fall of Paris and the liberation of the Nazi death camps; to the shaping of the message out of Washington, D.C.

James Perloff and Gene Epstein return. Epstein will talk of his latest economic views expressed in Barron's and the upcoming NYC Junto meeting featuring John Mackey and Nina Teicholz. James Perloff will talk of six American wars (Iraq, Vietnam, WWI, WWII, Korea and the Spanish American war) that cost Americans massive loss of life and treasury. But in truth, why were these wars fought when Pres. George Washington warned us not to get entangled in foreign affairs? From chapters 1 and 2 of his book “Truth is a Lonely Warrior” Perloff will provide some fascinating and important discussion on who really was responsible for getting America into these wars, how did they do it and who really profited from them.

Pastor Doug Tomorrow, we will as a nation be observing Memorial Day. Memorial Day is far more than cookouts, time at the beach or car races; it is a day of remembrance. Since 1866 we have commemorated and remembered those who have given their lives in all American Wars. It is a moment where we as a nation say with one voice that we will not forget! Can that also be said about us, as we live our lives before our friends, family, strangers and generations desperate to see the reality of a God they cannot see or might not know?

Understand the impact of war by interviewing a war veteran.

In 1991 the United States trounced the Iraqi army in battle, only to stumble blindly into postwar turmoil; 12 years later, Americans found themselves in the same situation. How could the world’s strongest power fight two wars against the same opponent in just over a decade, win lighting victories both times, and yet still be woefully unprepared for the aftermath? Gideon Rose, the Editor of Foreign Affairs and author of How Wars End: Why We Always Fight the Last Battle, will explore how American leaders, throughout the 20th century, have repeatedly ignored the need for careful postwar planning. Time and again, American presidents and generals have focused more on beating up the enemy than on creating a stable postwar environment. Rose will illustrate how and why each war ended as it did, identifying the choices of key figures involved and showing how those choices were constrained by domestic politics and ideology. Despite efforts to learn from past errors, our leaders continue to miscalculate and prolong conflicts or invite unwelcome results. Can the next generation of leaders learn from the mistakes of past presidents, or is the US destined to another repeat of history?
