American military authorities disciplined six members of the Army and three non-commissioned Marine officers on Monday for two separate incidents. Patt checks the facts on these punishments and weighs the political and moral implications of these controversial military episodes. And, they’re called green on blue attacks, Afghan soldiers killing NATO ones. What are those personal and cultural conflicts they talking about that make for murder? Is it military discipline? Resentment at the American presence? Plus, Ayn Rand worked in Hollywood, writing screenplays of her work and others’ – so how good, or bad, are her movies? Roll ‘em, next time.
