Combat veteran Nicholas Irving sits down with Shawn Prez for a blunt discussion on how politics shapes war — and the deadly cost for troops on the ground. Irving says shifting rules of engagement under George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden often left service members “fighting with their hands behind their backs,” especially in Afghanistan. He breaks down why the U.S. withdrawal under Biden became, in his view, both a political and military debacle, pointing to the loss of more than a dozen service members, the Taliban’s rapid return to power, and the collapse of 20 years of American nation-building. The conversation also touches on Vietnam comparisons, the Tet Offensive, taxpayer funding, midterm politics, oil prices, Iran, and the tension between public pressure to bring troops home and the need for a sound military strategy. Watch the full interview for Irving’s unfiltered perspective.
