Fortress On A Hill (FOH) Podcast

Fortress On A Hill (FOH) Podcast

The United States has become synonymous with empire and endless war, American troops sit in 70% of the world's countries, and yet, most Americans don't know that. The military is joined disproportionately by a 'warrior caste’ whom carry this enormous burden, making a less diverse force and ensuring most of society doesn't see their sacrifice. And American tax dollars, funding hundreds of billions in unnecessary spending on global hegemony, are robbed from the domestic needs of ordinary Americans. We aim to change that. Join Henri, Danny, Keagan, Jovanni, Shiloh, and Monisha, six leftist US military veterans, as they discuss how to turn the tide against endless war and repair the damage America has caused abroad.

Foreign Policy

Many people feel that the ugliest dog race every four years is the pinnacle of democratic participation. Shows like FOH show everyone why foreign policy should not be disconnected from democracy and ethics. Foreign policy should not be a "business".
