In this episode of The Solecast I chat with Scott Olsen and Graham Clumpner of About Face (Formerly known as Iraq Veterans Against The War). Scott and Graham were both involved in Occupy Oakland, Scott is most famously known for almost getting killed when OPD hit him in the head with a bean bag round that was followed by the first general strike in recent US history. Much of Graham’s work today is based around environmental/climate change struggles. We talk about their experiences in the military and what its going to take to build an anti-war movement in the US. We discuss the roles veterans can play in radical movements and some ways that active duty military can resist. We go into some of the history of anti war resistance and discuss what anti-imperialism means in the face of climate change. You can follow Scott at @olsenvet and Graham at @turncoatveteran
