In this episode, Dinesh shows the deeper roots of America's failure in Afghanistan, starting with a complete lack of purpose immediately following the removal of the Taliban.  Dinesh also shows how the rotting of key institutions--the military leadership, the political leadership, the universities--contributed to a culture of hubris, competence and lies. Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier, formerly of the Space Force, joins Dinesh to talk about the woke military and how it made him pay for exposing it.
