Episode notes
Ukraine Exposed A U.S. Drone Readiness Gap
- James Webb III argues the U.S. still has not fully adapted to drone-heavy conventional war despite years of observing Ukraine.
- He says Russia learned by testing Iranian systems against Western equipment piecemeal and likely fed those lessons back to Tehran.
Troops See The Missing American Rationale
- James Webb III says many troops are confused because leaders gave them tasks but no convincing American reason for the mission.
- He says veterans praised Joe Kent for saying aloud what many in uniform already see about the war's rationale.
Webb Says U.S. War Conduct Was More Restrained
- James Webb III rejects claims that U.S. troops in Iraq behaved less humanely than the IDF, calling that a slander on American service members.
- He says his unit often withheld even .50-caliber fire and preferred show-of-force aircraft to avoid civilian casualties in Ramadi.
