The new 'greatest generation': How new veterans are bringing their leadership lessons home
More often than not, we hear the dark side of life after war: The high unemployment rate and high suicide rates.
There never seems to be enough good news about the men and women who serve this country.
But Joe Klein writes in this week's TIME magazine that this new generation of veterans is fast becoming a force to be reckoned with. They're infiltrating companies, politics and non-profits, bringing a sharper skillset than veterans of past wars.
This morning on American Morning, CNN's Christine Romans talks with Klein and Paul Rieckhoff, executive director and founder of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA), a non-partisan, non-profit organization supporting war veterans. We asked them what makes this generation's veterans different from the past generations.

Talk Back: Are Rick Perry's treason accusations against the Fed out of line?
Rick Perry has come under fire this week by critics on both side of the political aisle who have called his remark that it would be "treasonous" for Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke to continue "printing money to play politics" both inappropriate and unpresidential.
Despite criticism, Perry stood by his comment yesterday, asserting that many politicians have questioned the transparency of the Federal Reserve. He stated that until the Fed "opens its books ... there will continue to be questions about their activity and what their true goal is for the United States.”

The gift of rest: Sen. Joe Lieberman on the importance of observing the Sabbath in his life
It's a concept that sounds impossible to many of us. A day with no phone. No email. No Blackberry.
Just a simple day of rest spent reflecting with family.

Former Presidential candidate Sen. Joe Lieberman writes about his own observance of the Sabbath in his new book "The Gift of Rest: Rediscovering the Beauty of the Sabbath." He talks with American Morning's Ali Velshi today about how taking a day of rest has shaped his career and his life.
Steve Brill on his book "Class Warfare" and possible solutions for the country's education crisis
With the school year about to start across the country, many cities and states are struggling to balance budgets without pulling teachers from the classroom.
In some cases, like in Providence, Rhode Island, teacher unions are giving up seniority hiring practices and agreeing to longer days in order to get back jobs. And some experts say that changing current policies could improve schools and save money at the same time.
Are they right?
Steven Brill has been studying the intense education debate happening here int he United States and breaks down his findings in his new book "Class Warfare: Inside the Fight to Fix America's Schools."
Steven Brill joins Christine Romans on American Morning today to explain why he thinks increasing teachers' salaries and basing their pay on performance could be the key to overhauling the nation's education system.
