NewsNation is set to host a Veterans Day special helmed by Leland Vittert and Bill O’Reilly on Tuesday evening.
America’s Greatest Warriors will be a one-hour program with Vittert sitting down with O’Reilly from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
The program will discuss the greatest military leaders in United States history, from President George Washington to General Douglas MacArthur, among others.
Also included in the special is a discussion between Leland Vittert and Colonel Bryan Gibby about the life and career of former Secretary of State General Colin Powell.
“Colin Powell’s journey, I think, is an exceptional one, comes from New York City at an ROTC program, goes to Vietnam, is not necessarily identified early as a fast mover,” Gibby said. “This is someone we’re going to watch. But at every position that he’s in, he does the very best that he can.”
Colonel Gibby went on to say of General Powell’s role in the Gulf War, “Powell, you know, he gets some criticism of being this political general. Well, yeah, we needed a political general at that level. What are we trying to do? What are we trying to achieve?”
The special program will air on NewsNation at 10 PM ET.
