'1000% Increase' in US Troops refusing to Fight in Iran War / Dissent brewing [View all]

As the Trump administration moves thousands of U.S. service members to the Middle East amid the disastrous US-Israeli war on Iran, remarkable dissent is brewing inside the U.S. military.

Mike Prysner of the Center on Conscience and War joins Prem to discuss the opposition inside the military – as some troops currently on their way to the Middle East seek to refuse fighting.

According to Prysner, command is telling soldiers to prepare for the worst. “They’re saying a ground war is inevitable, like this is happening, you better get ready.”

The media is either loudly banging the war drums, or completely disregarding historic public and military dissent. We at Zeteo are reporting on the war like it is. Please subscribe to support us in our mission to build a media fit for the moment: https://zeteo.com/subscribe
