In this episode of America’s Frontlines:
Colonel Denny and Skip ask a challenging question: Has the United Nations become part of the problem instead of the solution? They examine allegations surrounding the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, including accusations that the agency has enabled Hamas, promoted anti-Israel indoctrination, and received billions of dollars in international funding. They discuss what these claims could mean for U.S. foreign policy and whether American taxpayers should continue supporting the organization. Colonel Denny also reviews some of the hottest news stories affecting our daily lives, offering his perspective on the issues shaping America and the world today. As always, he lightens the mood with another round of his trademark one-liners and humor to keep us smiling. Our featured guest is retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Mel Bauman, who explains the important differences between the U.S. Army Reserve and the Army National Guard. He also shares stories from his military career and discusses the many ways he has supported America's service members and veterans over the decades. And of course, we continue our regular look back at military history from this point in time, remembering the events and sacrifices that helped build the nation we love as America celebrates its 250th anniversary.
Join us for an episode that explores international affairs, military service, and the history that continues to shape our nation.
