Thom Shanker, Director of the Project for Media and National Security, co-author (with Andrew Hoehn) of Age of Danger: Keeping America Safe in an Era of New Superpowers, New Weapons, and New Threats, and a former National Security/Foreign Policy Editor at the New York Times, joins The Realignment. Thom and Marshall discuss the major threats to U.S. national security in the 2020s and beyond, what distinguishes the "Age of Danger" from the War on Terror, the opportunities and perils facing defense reformers, and whether the Pentagon's trillion dollar-plus budget is well spent.
