Retired Marine Infantry Officer Major Tim Lynch and host Mike McNamara discuss the war in Iran. Today’s topics:

  • The downing of a USAF F15E aircraft —  what happens in an operation when an aircraft goes down for any reason?
  • Allies? What allies? The US’s future relative to NATO
  • The US is conducting a “punitive campaign” in Iran — wrecking Iran’s military and the military industry that supports it, with no intention of occupying any part of the nation. What are the nuances and limitations that go with such a campaign?
