Gen. McChrystal on Trump's Military Parade & the Need for National Character - Amanpour and Company PBS
Trump is gearing up for a military parade this weekend to celebrate the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army. Trump was inspired by the pomp of a Bastille Day celebration he attended in France to stage something similar in the United States. But many -- including Republicans -- are skeptical about the event's optics and cost.
Retired four-star general Stanley McChrystal, who has a deep understanding of U.S. military culture, has written a new book, "On Character." McChrystal spoke with Walter Isaacson before Israel's strikes on Iran began. - Originally aired on June 13, 2025.
