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
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

This conversation was recorded on Friday, March 20.
