Marquette University Associate Professor Risa Brooks discusses civil-military relations in the United States, the role of military leaders and institutions in the making of foreign policy, and what reforms are needed to re-exert civilian primacy over the armed forces. Brooks touches upon concerning episodes, from Obama\'s Afghanistan surge to Trump\'s explicit politicization of the military, to suggest the proper norms around civil-military relations have eroded in recent years.
