Is there some reason this person would have a special insight into the Afghan situation? Did he spend time over there in the military or state department? Has he worked as a staffer in the Congress? And how did he get accepted into the UC system with a 2.2 GPA?
As a friend and godfather to people that have served in the area while working for the DoD or the State Dept, and as someone that lost two friends in SE Asia, I have been trying to get my head around this mess.
My ideal political or social news commentator -> brutally and fearlessly honest, STEM background, a stint in public service overseas, and very familiar with inside the beltway but not an insider. Does such a person exist?
