ICYMI: "We've Never Bombed Our Way to Victory:" Adm. McRaven on the War with Iran



With diplomacy between Iran and the U.S. in stalemate, retired Admiral William McRaven argues that the President must sideline nuclear talks and focus on the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz if he wants to save the world economy. McRaven, whose military career spanned nearly four decades, oversaw the Navy SEALs raid that killed Osama bin Laden. McRaven's speeches — like "Make Your Bed," for a graduation ceremony in 2014 — have become widely known, and he has collated many of them into his new book "Duty, Honor, Country & Life." The Admiral speaks with Walter Isaacson.
