The host of "The Rachel Maddow Show" on MSNBC has written a new book called Drift: The Unmooring of American Military Power. It's about how we've been living in a state of perpetual war, and how war has become more secretive and the public more disconnected from it.
Monday in the final portion of Up to Date, Steve Kraske talks with Maddow about her military family, how she would have enlisted herself had it not been for the U.S. then-"don't ask don't tell" policy, and what she thinks of the current state of political dialog and media coverage.
