The Kurdistan in America podcast is honored to have Lieutenant Colonel Eric Howard as our guest in the third episode of Season Four.
In this special episode, we commemorate the 20th anniversary of the liberation of Iraq. March 20th, 2003 marked the beginning of the Second Gulf War. For the Kurdish people and the vast majority of Iraqis, it was a moment of hope as they looked to the future with optimism.
As the former commander of Advanced Operations Base 040 in the Erbil sector, Lt. Col. Howard has extensive experience in the Kurdistan Region, both during Operation Provide Comfort in 1994 and battlefield experience in the Kurdistan Region fighting alongside the Peshmerga forces against the Iraqi Army in 2003.
He shares his unique perspective on the successes and failures of the liberation of Iraq, his experiences fighting alongside the Peshmerga forces, and his personal views on the Kurdish people and the current state of US-Kurdistan relations.
Join us as we delve into the complexities of one of the most consequential events of the 21st century and gain a deep understanding of Lt. Col. Howard's viewpoint as an American special forces commander.
