How restrained should soldiers be on the ground in a war?
And what do we owe to local Afghans who helped us now that we're leaving?
Those are the two big questions hosts Alex Crowe and Steve Evans will be asking in Talk of the Times.
They're joined by two of Australia's top thinkers on defence matters, Professor John Blaxland of the ANU and Harley Dennett of Australian Community Media.
Join the conversation this week on Talk of the Times through Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
