In this interview, Colonel Douglas Macgregor states on camera that Iran defeated American military power in the Persian Gulf, that the US achieved none of its objectives despite burning through interceptors, evacuating bases, and deploying carrier strike groups, and that the outcome is not a matter of poor soldiers but of the wrong force sent on the wrong mission.
He says the US Army released a new tactical platoon manual that Ukrainian soldiers mocked, saying the unit described in it would not survive 30 minutes in the kind of fighting they face daily. Macgregor calls for an experimental unit modeled on Germany's 1929 armored development cell, insulated from career retaliation and tasked with replicating what the IRGC achieved using low-cost, mass-produced, networked drone systems against a Navy and Air Force.
Macgregor warns that defense spending is the largest discretionary budget item and the easiest to cut when the financial crisis he says is already approaching forces hard choices. He cites the Versailles memorandum of understanding signed after the Pakistan-brokered ceasefire as opening a fragile 60-day window, and says the deeper problem is that no one in Washington has yet asked whether this is a strategic inflection point from which the old force structure does not recover.
