Mike Waltz: Warrior Diplomat and Congressman

Michael G. Waltz served as a Green Beret in the Middle East and Africa, and commanded a Special Forces company in the mountains of Afghanistan.

He served as a counterterrorism advisor to Vice President Dick Cheney, and director for Afghanistan policy in the office of the Secretary of Defense.

He is the author of a marvelous 2014 book: Warrior Diplomat: A Green Beret’s Battles from Washington to Afghanistan, the proceeds of which continue to benefit the Green Beret Foundation.

He was also – we’re proud to say – a non-resident senior fellow at FDD years ago.

He now serves in Congress, where he’s a member of the House Armed Services Committee. He continues to serve in the National Guard.

He joins Foreign Podicy host Cliff May to talk about a range of critical national security and foreign policy issues.
