KMO welcomes Afghanistan war veteran, Jacob George, to the program to talk about cycling for peace, war resistance from inside the military, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Military Sexual Trauma, and the misguided attempt to impose Western social norms and political structures on the tribal societies of Afghanistan.

Music by Madeline Ava.
