Iran War Report: SF vet Jack Murphy on escalation, resignation and sleeper cells

We take a deeper look at the rapidly escalating War with Iran, with former Ranger, Special Forces and National Security writer Jack Murphy. We open with how veterans across the country feel about it, considering many have already endured decades of combat in Afghanistan and Iraq. Murphy also discusses the news of Special Forces veteran Joe Kent, whose resignation from National Counter Terrorism Center stirred up controversy earlier this week. And he highlighted what some have called antisemitism woven within the letter of resignation. Murphy also examines US leadership from President Trump’s decision to strike Iran to the effectiveness fellow Army veteran, Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth. We also examine the stark and troubling contrast between Murphy’s memories of Iraq policy and what is unfolding with Iran today. We also take a deeper look at veteran influencers and podcasters who push stories of terrorist sleeper cells within the US, and ask if fears of future attacks are warranted.
