Matt Mackowiak's Mack On Politics

Rising star U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) is our guest for the 135th episode. He is the author of a new book, “Sacred Duty: A Soldier’s Tour of Arlington National Cemetery”. In this conversation, we explore why he wrote this book, how he describes the sacred mission of 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment, otherwise known as the “Old Guard”, how the author conducted interviews while serving in the Senate, how Arlington has changed in recent years, what he believes is the state of the U.S. military and how our guest views current military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
