The discussion centers on the decision of risking the lives of our service members and countless innocent civilians worldwide.

The panel examines current global conflicts, including those in Israel and Ukraine, and evaluates the emerging risks of war in other regions. They weigh the moral and ethical considerations of military intervention, questioning the circumstances under which war might be deemed necessary.

Citing General Flynn’s statement, "War is a failure to resolve matters by other means," the panel reflects on the devastating consequences of war, emphasizing that it often leads to destruction and loss of life with minimal resolution.
