"No, pick me!": Clinton and Trump vie for support of military elites

Published: Sept. 8, 2016, 4:31 a.m.

On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker is joined by Margaret Stevens, history professor at Essex County College and a member of the advisory board of Veterans for Peace, Mazda Majidi, a contributor to LiberationNews.org and co-author of the book “Socialists and War: Two Opposing Trends”, and by Walter Smolarek, a producer of Loud & Clear and co-author of a forthcoming book about Hillary Clinton’s foreign and domestic policy.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have outlined their foreign policy views in a nationally televised “Commander-In-Chief” forum, with each trying to out maneuver the other to appear more militaristic. How would Clinton and Trump handle the war in Syria? Are both ready and willing to break international law to assert U.S. dominance around the globe? Is it true that Trump wants a better relationship with Russia? And what do the candidates have to say on veterans issues, including the extremely high suicide rate, PTSD and depression faced by returning soldiers?
