Is the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan the right policy? And will abandoning the country ultimately cost more American lives than staying? And who\u2019s really to blame for the mess that\u2019s unfolding? Skye talks with David French about these issues and more in this special bonus interview. French is the senior editor of The Dispatch, an attorney, the author of numerous books, and an Iraq War veteran. This bonus episode features the first half of Skye\u2019s hour long conversation with David French. The full 60 minute interview is available exclusively for Holy Post patreon supporters.
