Has endless post-9/11 military spending on forever wars compromised our domestic security?
In this special episode of Nukes of Hazard, recorded at our annual conference themed “$1 Trillion and Counting: The Pentagon Budget Squeezing Our Real Security,” experts Dr. Tess Bridgeman, Dr. Heidi Peltier, Dr. Miriam Pemberton and Bill Hartung examine “The True Costs of War: Iran Following the Pattern.”
Coming on the heels of the 25th anniversary of 9/11 and an expanding conflict with Iran, the panel dives into the pitfalls of massive defense budgets — from job creation disparities in the military compared with other sectors, to the long-term impact on social wellbeing — and makes a case for refocusing our resources to promote true national security.
