I didn't finish that one yet. I was surprised he chose that, after all, all Generals are the same according to DC. So, what's the use of talking to one.doc_loliday wrote:GrumpyCatFace wrote:New "Addendum" episode out now.

I enjoyed the interview. Long questions, long answers.
Pretty early on Dan posed one of his most oft made remarks about how generals are 'can do guys' and how this fact affects US war making because nobody ever says no. I found it interesting that McPeak immediately said, that's not how it works, the president asks for several options, with both pros and cons, and then makes a decision.
I like when Dan gets a little pushback. In fact, I wish he'd do more interviews. I wonder if he'll ever speak to Victor Davis Hanson again.
He's done some other recent interviews that were OK.
