Host Orli Matlow sits down with former Marine Lyle Jeremy Rubin, author of the memoir Pain is Weakness Leaving The Body: A Marine's Unbecoming, to talk everything from Afghanistan to The Music Man. Lyle opens up about his politics going into the military and his politics after, the accountability crisis in American politics (George W.
