Gen. McChrystal on Trump’s Military Parade & the Need for National Character

Season 2025 Episode 7250 | 18m 39s

Pres. Trump is gearing up for a military parade this weekend to celebrate the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army. But many -- including Republicans -- are skeptical about the event's optics and cost. Gen. Stanley McChrystal (Ret.), who has a deep understanding of U.S. military culture, has written a new book, "On Character." He spoke with Walter Isaacson before Israel's strikes on Iran began.
