Join the Whiskey Bench as Henning, Kat, and Torna discuss the recent withdrawal from Afghanistan. In this episode, the Bench tries to make sense of the seemingly rushed and unplanned military withdrawal. Important topics are discussed concerning long term national security, reputation of the US, and most concerning, the suffering Afghans are enduring.

Welcome to the Whiskey Bench, where we pair cocktails with conversation. Whether we’re diving deep into a meaty subject like the history of fascism or why monetary policy drives inflation, or just bringing you the highlights of a crazy news week, we aim to look past the simple answers and discuss the complexity of our wild world. So pull up a chair, pour yourself a drink, and join us on the Whiskey Bench.
