The United States continues to ramp up its military presence near Iran, newly deploying three San Diego-based warships to the Middle East along with some 2500 Camp Pendleton Marines. Retired Lieutenant General Mark Hertling, who served multiple tours in Iraq and commanded US Army Europe, is a critic of the U.S-Israel war on Iran, saying that it unnecessarily puts lives at risk, lacks any coherent political objective and leaves the U.S. vulnerable to cyberattacks and other forms of reprisal. We’ll talk to Hertling about the latest Iran developments and his own combat experience, which he details in a new memoir called “If I Don’t Return: A Father’s Wartime Journal.”
Guests:
Lieutenant General Mark Hertling (Ret.), former commanding general, US Army Europe; commander during the 2007-2009 Iraq surge; author, "If I Don't Return: A Father's Wartime Journal"
