Dr. Mark Brauner is a board-certified emergency physician with over 20 years of clinical experience. We also discuss his activism, primarily in his effort to start a national campaign urging Congress to enforce the bipartisan Leahy Law and suspend U.S. military aid to units credibly implicated in gross human rights abuses (visit LeahyReviewNow.org).
