A 3-star general explains ‘Why We Lost’ in Iraq, Afghanistan (AUDIO)

In over 500 pages, retired three-star general, Daniel Bolger, describes the conflicting agendas that haunted both campaigns, as well as the difficulty of identifying the enemy and the looming specter of Vietnam.

“The bravery and sacrifice of the people that I was privileged to serve with should be saluted,” he tells NPR’s Karen Grigsby Bates. “And the mistakes, the errors made by guys like me have to be accounted for and explained so we can learn and do better in the event we have to do something like this again.”
