<p>Why war isn't as simple as two armies fighting, the obsession with "2,000 pound bombs", Hamas's non-battlefield strategy (which the media helps it achieve) and so much more with John Spencer.</p><p>No one understands the intricacies of modern warfare like John Spencer. As a retired US Army Major and chair of Urban Warfare Studies at the <a href="https://mwi.usma.edu/" target="_blank">Modern War Institute at West Point</a>, not only has he studied war for years, he also put his boots on the ground as a soldier and researcher (including several visits to Gaza over the last year). </p><p>So of course, we asked him the important questions - are we all going to die? Is he single? And why is he so obsessed with concrete?</p><p>The After Action Review:</p><ul><li>How did he learn about Israel?</li><li>Global world order</li><li>Remember when Iran attacked Israel??
