Why You Never See Anti-War Protests On The News Anymore | Graham Elwood

An in-depth anti-war discussion and veteran perspective hosted by Graham Elwood for The Political Vigilante, featuring guest Joseph Johns from Veterans For Peace, recorded on location in Asheville, North Carolina. Joseph shares his personal journey of joining the military at 17 during what he describes as an "economic draft", serving in Baghdad with the 10th Mountain Division, and having his eyes opened post-service by WikiLeaks’ "Collateral Murder" footage. Graham and Joseph analyse the systemic absence of modern anti-war movements in the corporate media, examine how sports culture and video games manufacture consent for militarism, and share essential educational resources—from Smedley Butler’s "War Is a Racket" to anti-war documentaries like "Sir! "No, Sir!" and "Why We Fight."
