Iraq war veteran Paul Rieckhoff is nothing if not an interesting guy -- a soldier, writer, and now executive director of the 65,000-member Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. I intereviewed Paul for a couple hours today for my Hearing Progressive Voices series on MyDD. We got into some interesting stuff -- what's the matter with Ned Lamont, George Bush's responsibility, "the politics of unity and purpose," John Kerry 1971 vs. John Kerry 2004, the Dixie Chicks and what Democrats should do with Natalie Maines, his girlfriend's "unpatriotic" music, Traumatic Brain Injury and Walter Reed, waging war in the Internet age, decentralization and the art of coordinating fires, war documentaries and milbloggers, and more. Have a look?
