Why? because he's become a Trumpert? and that he's been singing the tune of Russia will winning, is winning vs. NATO/Ukraine conflict? Col.Macgregor has been one of U.S. Army's famous or infamous iconoclast especially when he wrote his book "BREAKING THE PHALANX" criticizing mother Army for not just it's behemoth size but the inability to be adaptable/flexible in that then word's changed landscape. His career pretty much became a dead end in terms of him becoming a field grade officer even after getting some assistance from U.S. Army's armor mafia in then Gen. Wesley Clark in his position as NATO SACEUR. He plucked MacGregor to be his strategist and helped plan the OPERATION ALLIED FORCE against Serbia in 1999 Kosovo War. The man had a stellar combat record in the 1st Gulf War during the battle of 73 easting where a certain fellow named H.R. MacMaster gained fame as well. While the former only managed to reach the rank of Colonel, the latter achieved a 3 star status, and then became then Trump's National Security Advisor, who's now a resident fellow/scholar of the Hudson Institute that pretty much call, advocate for conflict with China all-day, everyday, 24/7.
Unless you can provide a more solid evidence and argument to support your not thinly veiled criticism and dismissal of Doug then you ought to be more circumspect with your comments about the man.
Are you serious about what you are saying?
This is the same guy who was saying on TV in
February 2022 that the battle in eastern Ukraine was almost over and that if Ukrainian forces did not surrender in the next 24 hours, they would be annihilated.
This is the same guy who reacting to the Kharkiv withdrawal was saying that the Russian army was back in the war and in the process of crushing the remaining Ukrainian resistance in southern Ukraine,
. Less than a month before Russia retreated from the right bank of Kherson lol. Even the head of the command of Russian forces in Ukraine - Surovikin - at the time hinted at an inevitable withdrawal from the region. It takes a special kind of naivety to believe anything you say.
Regarding Gaza and Israel, he also said that Turkish troops -
- would eventually be in Gaza fighting against Israel.
There are a mountain of failed and idiotic predictions from him that I won't list them all.
Douglas Macgregor is the Ben Hodges version of the pro-Russians. In fact, all this ends up demonstrating the failure of the US command school for officers that has been degraded since before the Gulf War. The result and the evidence is this: they created a bunch of uninformed and idiotic senior officers and generals.
