Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Shrinking numbers of armed forces and growing peacekeeping commitments mean the National Guard’s citizen-soldiers are being called up to service more often and for longer deployment periods. Kojo speaks to leaders of the Guard about its evolving role both here and abroad.
Guests
- Major General Raymond Rees Vice-Chief of the U.S. National Guard Bureau
- Retired Major General Richard Alexander Executive Director of the National Guard Association of the United States
- Steve Vogel Military affairs reporter, Washington Post
