The adage “in war, truth is the first casualty” is generally attributed to the ancient Greek playwrite Aeschylus, and the words still ring true a few millenia later.

Seen in the interview was Adam Kokesh, who was threatened with an other-than-an-honorable discharge by the Marine Corp for wearing his uniform at the event.
