Reflecting on the Iraq War: A Review from MWI Podcast
In a revealing conversation on the MWI Podcast, retired Colonel Frank Sobchak discusses the major conclusions drawn from the Army's two-volume, 1,300-page study of the Iraq War, a significant piece of self-reflection for the military. The study, authored by Sobchak and retired Colonel Joel Rayburn, was initiated in 2013, completed in 2016, and published in 2019.
The conversation, originally released in 2019, between Maj. Jake Miraldi and Col. Sobchak, delves into the reasons for the delay and opposition within the Army ranks to the study's commencement. Sobchak shares insights into these challenges, providing a unique perspective on the Army's introspection.
As the United States approaches the twenty-year anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the end of US involvement in Afghanistan, this study offers a valuable opportunity to reflect on the Army's performance during the Iraq War.
