In his recent book, Pain Is Weakness Leaving the Body: A Marine's Unbecoming, U.S. Marine Corps veteran Lyle J. Rubin threads his five-year experience — as a candidate in Marine officer school and serving in Afghanistan, as well as his shift in thinking about the Global War on Terror, the U.S. military as an institution, and his opposition to militarized U.S. foreign policy today — into a poignant memoir. He shares this and more with us in a special conversation this week. In the first segment, Kelley & Dan talk about Nikki Haley's prospects for president and the hawkish baggage she brings to the table from the Trump administration.
