Col. Macgregor Responds to Axios Story, Sir Owen on Pentagon Secrecy

In this episode, Col. Douglas Macgregor joins David Gornoski to comment on the Axios news story that speaks about Trump’s daring proposal to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and even Germany. Why was this proposal blocked by the status quo in DC? Why did Trump back down in the face of pressure? Also in the show, David is joined by geopolitical analyst Sir Owen who calls in to talk about the Pentagon’s signature reduction program and other consequences of an ever-increasing surveillance state.

          IN HONOR OF MEMORIAL DAY, 2021,,,,,this viet era veteran prays that Retired Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor, Ph.D and hopefully many of his like minded comrades will Crusade Loudly and Clearly for an end to our military presence in the middle east so that not one more son or daughter, not one more brother or sister, not one more spouse, not one more mother or father will have to mourn the loss of their military beloved one who has fallen in the middle east. to paraphrase the words of General Douglas MacArthur,,,,,all the many ghosts of those who have fallen as patriots in america’s wars,,,,,will rise on their special day of rememberance,,,,,,, and thunder; “Duty, Honor, Country”…….
