Fred Kaplan, Slate's War Stories columnist and the author of Dark Territory: The Secret History of Cyber War (Simon & Schuster, 2016), analyzes Hillary Clinton's and Donald Trump’s stances on national security, military affairs and veterans’ issues from their first joint appearance on NBC and MSNBC’s "Commander-In-Chief Forum," and listeners weigh in:
