War in Yemen and US Militarism

Kathy Kelly recounted first-hand and reported accounts of civilians killed in Yemen (a village bombed after striking water, the raid in which a Navy SEAL and 26 Yemenis died, and a school bus struck by a missile) alongside her own visit to a survivor of the 2015 US bombing of the Doctors Without Borders hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan. She argued against American exceptionalism and the arms economy, then answered audience questions on apathy, a possible draft or national service, and whether antiwar organizing works.
