## Resource

Harrison Mann was an army intelligence officer who resigned in protest against the genocide in Gaza in 2024. Since then, he's been a man on a mission--against war, against the political appointees who perpetuate war crimes and genocide, and for a new, more progressive foreign policy cadre for the Democratic Party. Mann joins Dr. Van Jackson in this episode about the future of Democratic Party foreign policy, being a CNN pundit, the latest on the war with Iran and whether the US will invade Kharg Island, using wargames for peace, and why a reckoning with the crimes of the Biden administration is so essential.
