It was a momentous week, as the United States withdrew from Afghanistan.We talk with Lieutenant Colonel Douglas Whitehead (ret) on the whole debacle, and the ensuing collapse of military integrity. He fervently expresses the widespread anger in the U.S. military.Then Patrick Basham, founding Director of the Democracy Institute, analyses the differences between the Biden and the Trump administrations. His commentary, as always, is not to be missed.And finally, the Mailroom with Mrs Producer. Thankyou as always for all your feedback.
