General (ret.) Stanley McChrystal, former JSOC commander and commander of the U.S./NATO troops in Afghanistan, joins the podcast for a discussion of his career. General McChrystal reflects on his role serving at the Pentagon while the U.S. invasion of Iraq was planned, his often-tense relationship with the Obama administration, and his decision to speak out on the current president. Also in this episode: what future military leaders should learn from his firing, the military’s relationship with the press, and what civilian policy students should know about the military. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of civil-military cooperation in America.
