Winter Soldiers: Vietnam to Iraq and Afghanistan

January 20-27, 30

With Winter Soldier: Iraq and Afghanistan, the veteran and active duty led inquiry of 2008 and its inspiration—the original Winter Soldier Investigation of 1971 (and the film by the same name) — as bookends, this series explores the soldier’s point of view in these conflicts as well as their role in the genesis of any critique of these wars.
