Joe Kent – The Real Reason Republicans Lost the Midterms | SRS #356

Joe Kent is a retired U.S. Army Special Forces veteran, former CIA paramilitary officer, and former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center who resigned in March 2026 over his opposition to the Iran war. An Oregon native and Norwich University graduate in Strategic Defense Analysis, he served 20 years in the Army, completed 11 combat deployments, and earned six Bronze Stars before retiring in 2018 and joining the CIA’s Special Activities Center. His military service included assignments with the 75th Ranger Regiment, Army Special Forces, and U.S. Army Special Operations Command. In 2019, his wife, Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer Shannon Kent, was killed in a suicide bombing while serving in Syria.
