About this episode

Joe Plenzler interviews Greg Jaffe about the challenges facing American military power and the Pentagon's internal culture.

Meidas Defense host Joe Plenzler sits down with New York Times national security reporter Greg Jaffe for a sobering look at the limits of American military power and the growing culture of fear inside the Pentagon. They examine the loss of senior military leadership, restrictions on press access, and troubling parallels between Afghanistan and the current conflict with Iran. They also break down the vulnerability of U.S. bases in the Middle East, the risks of reopening the Strait of Hormuz by force, and why drones, electronic warfare and modern battlefield technology are evolving faster than the Pentagon can adapt.
