We didn't have this access to information.

I don't think our generation has an excuse.

If you fought in the global war on terror, you don't have an excuse.

We've seen this before.

So I do think they need to reflect.

If they're fighting in place or fighting on the inside, I completely respect that.

However,

If they reach a point where the options that they're offering aren't being heard at all, and they're not even allowed in the room, they're not even allowed at the chain of command, the reports aren't even being read, they've got to reflect internally and think about how this is going to impact future generations or impact the men and women that are going to have to go fight and die overseas.

I want to just double click on that.

What if Colin Powell had told the truth?

Can you imagine the world?

Can you imagine what that world, the prestige of someone like that?

And I implore anyone listening to this to think about your comments and your background.

of your, you know, honestly, I think you're almost faithful perhaps to a fault to the administration, which I don't think has treated you particularly well, but to look at somebody like you who has the courage and to think and reflect about what that could have had some sort of impact.

Maybe we'll get there at the end.

It may be possible, but you probably want to be doing something about it, unlike Colin Powell, who went along and lied to the American people.

Moving on here a little bit with Iran, a lot of our audience, we asked them for questions because we knew we were coming on.

A lot of them actually want to hear some of your tactical breakdown.

Why would because I mean, one of the presumptions in your resignation is that more military escalation with Iran is bad, is a nightmare.

Why don't you lay out that case beyond just loss of American life?
