COL Macgregor came down to Fort Lee, VA, to speak to my Command and General Staff College class last October/November. Fascinating guy with a lot of interesting contrary thinking as compared to what you normally see/hear from the brass.

He told us that Russia’s involvement in Ukraine wasn’t our problem (”It will be Putin’s ulcer.”) and that ISIS is generally a bunch of clowns in pick-up trucks who aren’t worth the time or effort on our behalf.

His real concern was Iran due to a real military capability and significant asymmetric capabilities as well as a rapidly developing nuclear program.

How did he feel about the homosexualization of the military, gals in combat, gals as “Rangers”, etc...or did anybody think to ask?

Would be great to hear his thoughts today, a year later, and after so much has changed. :-)

Best of luck to you; stay safe!
