Capt. Matthew Hoh discusses the volatile situation currently engulfing the world as Israel prepares to strike Iran and defences are beefed up on both sides. Capt. Hoh notes that in order to strike Iran, Israel will have to use its prized F-35 fleet and this will become a test of this plane’s actual capabilities. The world—and especially the Russians and Chinese—will surely be watching. The F-35s already have a poor reputation even in the US, where many qualified observers see it as hugely expensive, overdesigned, and highly prone to malfunction. Capt. Hoh had nearly twelve years experience with the US military and the wars overseas with the United States Marine Corps, Department of Defense and State Department. He has been a Senior Fellow with the Center for International Policy since 2010. In 2009, Matthew Hoh resigned in protest from his post in Afghanistan with the State Department over the American escalation of the war. Prior to his assignment in Afghanistan, Matthew took part in the American occupation of Iraq; first in 2004-2005 in Salah ad Din Province with a State Department reconstruction and governance team and then in 2006-2007 in Anbar Province as a Marine Corps company commander. When not deployed, Matthew worked on Afghanistan and Iraq war policy and operations issues at the Pentagon and State Department from 2002-2008.Capt.
