This week, Shelby Lee is joined by a special guest co-host — Shoestring friend and former co-chair of the Northampton Policing Review Commission Dan Cannity — to have an important conversation about the U.S. military, its impact on the world, and the people who participate in it. Joining them for that conversation are three veterans who have served in the armed forces across three generations from 1960 to 2016 and are currently organizing for peace in western Massachusetts: Nick Mottern, Martin Omasta, and Donovan Lee.
