Public Rage Won’t Solve Any of Our Problems

Recently a friend asked me, with what I thought was a hint of suspicion in his voice, why my writing was so "apolitical." It's not the first time it's happened, but it always surprises me. I've written about military policy under both President Obama and President Trump. I've questioned what we're doing and tried to write about what flawed policy looks and feels like to those tasked with carrying it out. To me, this is inescapably and obviously engaged political speech.
