The way President Biden and his Administration exited Afghanistan placed a spotlight on America's involvement in the area and influenced how the world views the country.
In the flurry and chaos that many of our Global Diplomacy Network members also engaged in, what lessons were learned about the government in a crisis? What worked and what didn't? Where is Afghanistan today, and what role, if any, should America and the world play in its future?
Join this Only-in-YPO conversation between two of the most highly regarded officers of their generation: Elliot Ackerman, whose new book The Fifth Act: America's End in Afghanistan has been called by reviewers among the most important written on the war, and New York Times bestselling author, Nathaniel Fick. Nate served as Marine Corps infantry and reconnaissance officer, including combat tours in Afghanistan and Iraq while Elliot is a Silver Star recipient who also served in Afghanistan, and led initiatives to help get Americans and our Afghan allies out of Kabul in 2021. They will speak one-on-one from their shared experience in service and the front lines of the end of "America's Longest War" and what can come next on the ground.
