Michael R. Gordon, National Security Correspondent for The Wall Street Journal and author of Degrade and Destroy: The Inside Story of the War Against the Islamic State, from Barack Obama to Donald Trump, joins The Realignment. Michael and Marshall discuss how current era of Great Power conflict differs from the War on Terror, how the Pentagon is transforming the U.S. military to meet the moment, the legacy of America's involvement in Iraq from the Gulf War to the fall of ISIS in 2019, and why the U.S. campaign against ISIS, with its focus on enabling local allies on the ground offers a strategic model for future conflicts.
