First up is DoD Directive 5240.01 changes that allow the military to shoot American citizens and proposed changes to the National Defense Authorization Act which automatically registers women for the draft. From there, he discusses the marxist's lack of an apology to the American people for covering up the potato's mental decline. After that, Dave takes a hard look at the war footing all of these countries like Israel, Iran, China, Russia, and North Korea seem to be on and posits the theory that WWIII is probably inevitable. He closes the show discussing election polling, Israel's overnight attack against Iran, the EU picking a fight with the UK., and illegal immigration opposition is apparently pure racism.  Articles discussed: Harris claims she was 'honest with the American people' about Biden's mental acuity: 'Capable in every way' by Joseph A.

Racial Conflict in the U.S. Army During the Vietnam War Era

In September 1969, African American journalist Wallace Terry reported on “another war being fought in Vietnam — between black and white Americans.” After the 1948 integration of the military, the U.S. Army had tried to be color blind, seeing not Black or white but just olive drab, but by 1970, the Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel, Gen. Walter T. Kerwin, noted: “In the past year racial discord has surfaced as one of the most serious problems facing Army leadership.” So in the midst of fighting a deeply unpopular overseas war, the military also created the Defense Race Relations Institute (DRRI) and developed mandated race relations training. Joining me to discuss race relations in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War era is Dr. Beth Bailey, a Foundation Distinguished Professor in the Department of History at the University of Kansas and Author of An Army Afire: How the US Army Confronted Its Racial Crisis in the Vietnam Era.

The military is a microcosm of the society it protects and is thus subject to many of the same tensions experienced by the population at large. As the nation struggled with racism in the '60s and '70s, the Army experienced violence and discrimination in the barracks and in the field. The Army recognized that the organization could not function in this divisive environment and in the late '60s began to address racism and racial identity. Beth Bailey's new book, "An Army Afire: How the US Army Confronted Its Racial Crisis in the Vietnam Era," chronicles the efforts that succeeded and those that failed. She's in the studio with podcast host Ron Granieri to explain how "seeing only OD" was an earnest yet flawed approach.

By the Tet Offensive in early 1968, what had been widely heralded as the best qualified, best-trained army in US history was descending into crisis as the Vietnam War raged without end. Morale was tanking. AWOL rates were rising. And in August of that year, a group of Black soldiers seized control of the infamous Long Binh Jail, burned buildings, and beat a white inmate to death with a shovel. The days of "same mud, same blood" were over, and by the end of the decade, a new generation of Black GIs had decisively rejected the slights and institutional racism their forefathers had endured.  In An Army Afire: How the US Army Confronted Its Racial Crisis in the Vietnam Era (UNC Press, 2023), acclaimed military historian Beth Bailey shows how the Army experienced, defined, and tried to solve racism and racial tension (in its own words, "the problem of race") in the Vietnam War era. Some individuals were sympathetic to the problem but offered solutions that were more performative than transformational, while others proposed remedies that were antithetical to the army's fundamental principles of discipline, order, hierarchy, and authority. Bailey traces a frustrating yet fascinating arc where the army initially rushed to create solutions without taking the time to fully identify the origins, causes, and proliferation of racial tension. It was a difficult, messy process, but only after Army leaders ceased viewing the issue as a Black issue and accepted their own roles in contributing to the problem did change become possible.

In addition, she has edited or co-edited numerous volumes, including Managing Sex in the U.S. Military, which she did with Kara Vuic; Alesha Doan; Shannon Portillo. Beth was educated at Northwestern and the University of Chicago. Before making the move to the University of Kansas, Beth taught at Barnard College, The University of New Mexico, and Temple University. She has spoken all over the world and was a Fulbright Scholar at the University of Indonesia. Beth's research has been supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, and the American Council of Learned Societies.

Beth is one of the most respected and generous people in the field of military history, and we are pleased that she made the time to sit down with us today. She's come far from parents who sat in the flea-infested Fox Theater in Atlanta on their first date and for one who is agnostic about Kansas basketball (living dangerously like that in Lawrence!)!

At the end of 2021, the UK government published a report looking into some of the institutional barriers women face within the military. Shockingly, over half of servicewomen surveyed had faced bullying, harassment or discrimination – but the majority had not reported it. Why are women hesitant to report these incidents? What obstacles do women face in these institutions? What can we do to tackle biases and systems that are preventing women from speaking up? In this special edition episode for International Women's Day, Dr Anna Brinkman-Schwartz and Helene Olsen join us to answer these questions and more. We discuss some of the issues faced by women within the military, security, and academia, and explore what we – and institutions – can do to "break the bias".

The Justice for Gerard Movement presents .... TURNING A MOMENT INTO A MOVEMENT! Confirmation Bias, coupled with tunnel vision and a rush to judgment, switches a case from an evidence-based investigation into a suspect-based one, in an effort to solve the case. When detectives and prosecutors think they've invested too much into a case to even consider the possibility that they may be wrong…even solid evidence that the suspect may not be the right guy gets discredited or outright ignored in order to not upset the momentum of closing the case. Faulty assumptions by law enforcement officers and prosecutors while trying to prove themselves right infected everything else that happened in the case, from what evidence got admitted to what witnesses were called or not called. Therefore on Friday, The Justice for Gerard Movement will explore how Confirmation Biases causes Wrongful Convictions. So join us, along with Attorney Hugo Mack, Trischè Duckworth Founder of Survivors Speak, Rev Tia Littlejohn Life Coach & Behavioral Therapist, Ally Hughes of Mi Liberation & Dearborn Accountability and Edward Barakah Sanders, Paralegal, Social Worker, and our new panelist Mr Art Been, along with our special guest Beth Bailey of Accountability Dearborn hosted by Jay Love...
