Zach DembowGUEST
Um, I came of age during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and one of the things that always bothered me was everyone had strong opinions on them.
Zach DembowGUEST
And I mean, look, I was obviously very much against certainly the Iraq War and towards the end, the Afghanistan War.
Zach DembowGUEST
Um, but a lot of people who were the loudest on it had not served.
Zach DembowGUEST
They also did not have any family who were serving.
Akbar Shahid AhmedGUEST
You saw Israeli strikes backed by the US with American-provided bombs wipe out entire neighborhoods, target civilian buildings, target schools, target hospitals, target medical personnel.
Akbar Shahid AhmedGUEST
And to the question of the Iraq War and the Afghanistan War, the failure there that the US is referencing and that many Biden administration officials had said they had learned a lesson from was both that it was strategically and, and just economically costly, costly at home.
Akbar Shahid AhmedGUEST
Also, they kept fueling problems the US then had to go back and address, right? So the Iraq War, direct line to the rise of ISIS.
Akbar Shahid AhmedGUEST
These Biden administration officials who have managed those policies, figures like Bret, Brett McGurk, an advisor to Bush, advisor to Obama, advisor to Trump, now advisor to Biden, are deeply rooted in Middle East policymaking.

Tristan EttlemanHOST
Yeah, that hasn't been true for 80 years.
Anthony SlideGUEST
Yeah, no, and then it had a lot of help from England.
Michael CampanellaHOST
But I agree with some of what you said there, and I think especially when it comes to military spending and stop spending on wars.
Michael CampanellaHOST
You know, I think about the Iraq War and the Afghanistan War.
Michael CampanellaHOST
Yeah, Bush cut taxes and then spent trillions of dollars on war.
Michael CampanellaHOST

Jonathan YungerGUEST
And that was a movie I made years ago called The Outpost.
Jonathan YungerGUEST
And which is a movie about, it's a movie about a battle that happened during the Afghanistan war and during the Afghanistan war.
Jonathan YungerGUEST
And it was based on a book that Jake Tapper wrote about the battle of Chemdash.
Jonathan YungerGUEST
And we hired some of the real people from the battle to be in the movie and to consult on the movie.
