Two decorated Marine Corps General Officers join Mike McNamara on ALL MARINE RADIO to discuss the events that have the world watching the Middle East. MajGen Dale Alford, USMC (ret) and LtGen Dave Furness, USMC (ret) discuss (1) The geography of the region and the criticality of three chokepoints to world economics — the Straits of Hormuz, the Bab el Mandeb, and the Suez Canal; (2) Israel’s actions against Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis in Yemen and (3) How will Israel respond to Iran’s attack?
MajGen Alford and LtGen Furness are experienced and insightful leaders with close to 80 years of service between them, and this is a great discussion about the nuances that go into Israel’s complex task of dealing with Iran and its proxies (Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis in Yemen).
