Two retired Marine Infantry Officers, Col Will Costantini, USMC (ret), and Maj Tim Lynch, USMC (ret), join Maj Mike McNamara, USMCR (ret), today on ALL MARINE RADIO.
With apologies for the technical issues in this broadcast…
TODAY’S TOPICS:
- Does regime change happen in the near term… or will that happen at a later date… after combat operations have been concluded?
- What is it to be an “ally” of the United States? AND… should the US rethink its alliances, given that Europe has largely disarmed itself… and further, even when they do go along to support an American military operation… they can’t actually contribute any significant capability… which stands in stark contrast to what Israel and Ukraine have done for the US.
- What would ground combat units do in the region?
- The task of opening the Strait of Hormuz — what do the layers of that look like?
