They blame the E-Ring civilians and the White House for our reckless war policies, but don't forget the soldiers who also drink the kool-aid, are responsible for pushing war against Iran at Israel's urging, and are generously rewarded as members of the fold. Gen. Erik Kurilla, who did as much damage as possible as CENTCOM commander before retiring in 2025 after Operation Midnight Hammer, is the latest example.
My latest on Ret. Gen. Kurilla, who was feted by Netanyahu for his bravery in taking us to war in June, now headlining the Adelson-funded Israeli-American Council's "Strength in Unity" Gala last night in NYT.
It's good to be Israel's favorite American general.
