The opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the participants, not of Reuters News. I really think he thinks that he can operate as an imperial president.

I take him at his word that he intends to try to fire generals and I think he will be the utter salvation of both ISIS and Al Qaeda. This week we tried something a little bit different.

Malcolm Nance, Andrew Bacevich, and Mandy Smithberger joined Matthew Galt to talk about

the security implications of either a Clinton or Trump presidency. While many in the cognizantia

have voiced reservations about Donald Trump, the War College panel sees trouble

ahead for Hillary Clinton too. So can either candidate offer any solutions?

You're listening to Reuters War College, a discussion of the world in conflict, focusing on the stories behind the front lines.

Hello listeners and welcome to War College's 2016 election special.

Whoever wins the 2016 election will inherit a 15 year old war in Afghanistan,

a conflict with the Islamic State, a military budget rife with waste, fraud, and

abuse, and a relationship with Russia that has some nostalgic for the Cold War.

We're here today to cut through the noise and talk policy. It's been a strange election and a lot of

important issues have fallen through the cracks so we're going to discuss the

challenges the next president faces and remind the voters what's really at

stake in this election.

With me to help do that is retired US Army Colonel and current Professor

Emeritus of International Relations and History at Boston University

Andrew Baceievich.
