Today we will have Part II of a series we started in May of this year with the same guests.Six-and-a-half weeks from the NOV 2010 election with economic issues dominating the debate, what are the national security implications if the one or both Houses of Congress switch from Dem to Rep? What, if any, national security issues are part of the "Tea Party" movement - and what will possible new-comers such as Rand Paul and Marco Rubio bring to DC?
Live today, Sunday 19 SEP 10 our guests to discuss will be Mackenzie Eaglen, Research Fellow for National Security at the Heritage Foundation, and James S. Robbins is Senior Editorial Writer for Foreign Affairs at the Washington Times.

Excellent discussion this weekend. Those that know, enjoyed. Them that weren't there need to listen to the archived tomorrow night ;)
Well, one thing I noticed is the increasing cost of professional military. We all know that modern tech needs professional soldiers - there is no going back to conscription. But what if the costs of personnel are beginning to eat into the very tech they are supposed to be manning?
