On this episode of Breaking the Set, Abby Martin remarks on the Department of Veterans Affairs withholding statistics about the true scope on non-fatal casualties of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars that now stands at 1 million injured vets. Abby then talks to activist and photojournalist Jenna Pope, about her work documenting mass protests from Occupy Wall Street to Turkey. Abby then defends the notion of American Exceptionalism, highlighting the categories where the US truly is exceptional, from obesity to war making, but not in the areas that Americans should be proud of such as literacy and environmental protection. BTS wraps up the show with an exclusive interview with musical artist Moby, discussing his activism, the failures of the corporate music industry, and why he is a vegan.
