I mean, you are somebody who's probably briefed from the Pentagon podium more than anyone else, maybe even more than secretaries of defense.

What has stuck out to you about this?

the lack of communication about the war from the Pentagon over the course of the last four weeks.

A lot of that, the fish rots at the head, as they say.

So, Director Brennan, John Kirby, please stay where you are.

We have to take a quick break.

But there's one more thing I want to ask you about, and it's something even one senior Trump White House official just called cringe and disrespectful and gross.

We'll talk about it when we come back.

Donald Trump is not the only one in the White House detached from the war he started.

You can see the detachment from the war's human toll in the entire communication strategy.

On social media, the White House accounts have been trivializing the service of American troops by turning war video into cheap content that makes it look like a video game or turns it into something to put cartoon references on top of.

And the latest reporting from MSNOW is that this strategy has become a point of contention even inside the White House.

One senior White House official told MSNOW, quote, the war videos are cringe and disrespectful and gross and that it makes me feel embarrassed.

No kidding.

We're back with John Brennan and John Kirby.

Okay, Admiral Kirby, let me, as I continue to remind the audience who all know you, of course, you've served in the military, you have children who've served in the military, you have family members, parents who've served in the military.

I just want to ask you about this kind of from a personal perspective, because

When you see these videos, I'm sure you've seen them, SpongeBob SquarePants, Call of Duty.

It feels we have the best military in the world, bar none.

It is trivializing.
