This week, Nate and Francis discuss the continued war-crime saga of Eddie Gallagher, but this episode also features an interview between Francis and Andrea N. Goldstein (@AN_Goldstein) on the topic of the Deborah Sampson Act, which is currently in the U.S. Senate. The act would drastically increase available VA treatment for women veterans, and we wanted you to hear about it. This week’s bonus features an interview with Jasper Craven, a writer who covers military and veterans issues and who recently wrote a piece for the Baffler about the military testing drugs on service members.
