An excellent interview with Stanley McChrystal conducted by David French (also a veteran).

About our current involvement in the war with Iran. Plenty of history and background from a man who knows what he's talking about. Towards the end there is cogent criticism of what is happening to our military under Trump and Hegseth.

Did President Trump fall for the myth of surgical warfare? Gen. Stanley McChrystal joins the columnist David French, both veterans of the Iraq war, to discuss what may have been overlooked in the planning of Operation Epic Fury. McChrystal, who retired from the Army in 2010, argues that the United States often overestimates the decisive power of aerial bombing while underestimating the weight of historical grievance. And the general weighs in on the current culture of bravado coming from the secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth.
