The Washington Post filed a scathing article, leaking classified information about alleged American military deficiencies in the war on Iran. As with all leaks, this story brings up three challenges: should the press be leaking classified information, was the information accurate and corroborated and was the leaker justified in sharing the content in the first place.
In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss the leak, the ethics of the leak, and allies’ role in war, even when the war is controversial.
Andrew Fox is a research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society and cohost of The Brink Podcast. He served for 16 years in the British Army, leaving the Parachute Regiment with the rank of Major. He completed 3 tours in Afghanistan including one attached to US Army Special Forces, as well as further tours of Bosnia, Northern Ireland and the Middle East. He was a senior lecturer at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, teaching in the War Studies and Behavioural Science departments. In the last year he has visited Gaza twice as well as Hezbollah tunnels in Lebanon. Andrew is a regular Middle East commentator on GB News, TalkTV and LBC radio, and has been published in The Spectator, The Sun, The Daily Telegraph, New York Post and The Tablet, amongst others.
