Guests - James Bradley, Thomas Trask

from Winn Tucson Hosted by Kathleen Winn

Guests - James Bradley, Thomas Trask Author James Bradley, known for Flags of Our Fathers and his latest novel Precious Freedom, drew stark parallels to America's past military entanglements. Bradley, whose father fought on Iwo Jima and whose brother served in Vietnam, argued that the action risks becoming "Venezuela is Spanish for Vietnam." Bradley emphasized that the U.S. military has not achieved a successful regime change in 80 years, citing failures in Iraq, Libya, and Vietnam. Tanque Verde Unified School District board member Thomas Trask addressed growing tensions with the Pima County Joint Technical Education District (JTED). Thirteen of 14 member districts are signing a memo urging JTED to reconsider a potential $300 million bond, amid concerns over centralization and funding shifts.
