ArtHOST
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
ArtHOST
We can go back to Desert Storm, Desert Eagle, Iraqi Freedom.
ArtHOST
We can go back to all.
ArtHOST
It doesn't matter.
David LebrykGUEST
It's not just that you're comfortable communicating and have trust in the organization that you can communicate openly, but also that, um, you're learning as you go along every day to improve your operations.
Shane CanfieldHOST
The, the very first, uh, podcast guest we had was, um, Cutler Dawson, who was an admiral in the Navy, in charge of the enterprise, uh, carrier and the fleet in the beginning of Desert Storm, and then he went on to run Navy Federal, the world's largest credit union.
Shane CanfieldHOST
And w- it was fascinating to hear you because he talked, he used an example of a problem they had on deck on the airf- uh, with airplanes on the carrier, and it was pretty serious, uh, accident that happened.
Shane CanfieldHOST
His culture was exactly what you said.
Maxine Margo RubinHOST
Yeah, the, the Great genera- the Great Generation in, in World War II, and, and, and then, you know, Korea, Vietnam, all these people lost their lives.
Maxine Margo RubinHOST
The, the Gulf Wars.
George PolisnerGUEST
Right.
Maxine Margo RubinHOST
And now i- in, in Iran, we, we've lost troops.
Tony BrysonGUEST
So, yep, 4-5 Commando is a fighting unit.
Tony BrysonGUEST
They're a mountain and arctic warfare specialist unit as well, based in Scotland.
Tony BrysonGUEST
So I spent quite a few years doing mountain training, Ben Nevis, Snowdonia, all that.
Tony BrysonGUEST
I was always cold, I was always wet.
Tony BrysonGUEST
I mean, we had a couple of months luckily to do some beat up training, but Being on six hours notice to move, we were constantly training anyway.
Tony BrysonGUEST
So we were pretty sharp.
Tony BrysonGUEST
And 4.5 Commando being the Arctic and mountain warfare specialists, we were going into the terrain of Afghanistan, which is mountain and Arctic warfare.
Tony BrysonGUEST
So we were prepared to be fighting in such a place like Norway.
Peter KuznickGUEST
You can make the case that the U.S. has not won a major war since World War II.
Peter KuznickGUEST
The U.S. got defeated in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, maybe a minor victory in Gulf War I, Operation Urgent Fury in Grenada in 1983.
Peter KuznickGUEST
The U.S. was able to defeat a couple dozen Cuban construction workers.
Peter KuznickGUEST
But warfare in the modern era, is outdated it should be obsolete we should abandon it we should banish it we need diplomacy and we need somebody who speaks for the planet which is why i'm urging the pope to take action as the only one who's consistently spoken for the planet guterres has done so too but the un is so marginalized at this point that i can't see i mean i hope he joins the effort and But in terms of the dynamics in that region, things are shifting so quickly.
