With Iran now threatening to counterattack the U.S. counterattack, it begs the question: Where will this all end? Will the draft be re-instituted? And will this lead to World War 3?
But perhaps the bigger question is: What constitutes a ‘just’ war?
Helping answer these moral military questions is former U.S. Navy Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt, a former military intelligence officer, having worked daily for three years with DIA, CIA, and the NSA. Gordon also has a Bachelor’s Degree in international affairs.
Q&A:
- Do you feel the U.S. was justified in killing Qassem Soleimani, the military head of Iran’s Quds Military Forces and why?
- What constitutes a ‘just’ war?
- Tell us what you are able to about your past experience as a military intelligence offer and what are some of the parallels between your past military work and what’s going on today with regard to Iran, Israel and the Middle East.
- Do you think the draft will be re-instituted and do you think it should be?
- You were kicked out of the military. What was that about?
- Where may we get more information on you, your organization and the work you do?
