Richard and Joe welcomed retired US Army Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson. His military career began in 1966 as a OH-6A Cayuse observation helicopter pilot during the Vietnam War. Then, he completed his undergraduate and graduate degrees (2) from the Naval War College in Rhode Island.
It was his position as assistant to Colin Powell from the late 1980s through the early 2000s that kept him in the public eye. Wilkerson worked for Colin Powell in many organizations starting when Powell was National Security Adviser to Ronald Reagan, next when Powell was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (H. W. Bush), and lastly when Powell was Secretary of State under George W. Bush.
Since retiring from public service, Wilkerson is a frequent commentator on US foreign policy and is a vociferous critic of the Iraqi War and how it was handled by US government officials.
Colonel Wilkerson is an occasional commentator on TheRealNews.com on US foreign policy issues and is the first guest featured in the video below:
