Like the late General and Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, Admiral Mike Mullen has spent his adult life pursuing and promoting peace while also taking up arms in the defense of his country. In the spirit of Rabin, he has frequently spoken about the dual role of the soldier as warrior and peacemaker. During his tenure, Admiral Mullen has brought military cooperation between Israel and the U.S. to unprecedented levels, and at the same time has advocated for diplomacy and economic and political development in creating conditions for peace.
Admiral Mullen joins The New York Times columnist David Brooks in an in-depth look at the role of the armed forces as a moral, cultural, and humanitarian force as part of the Jewish Primary Day School of the Nation’s Capital 6th Annual Yitzhak Rabin Memorial Lecture.
Admiral Mullen will share his insights on the leadership and security challenges in an ever-changing world. Serving as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to two war-time presidents, he has focused his efforts on defending national interests in the Middle East through engaging both military leaders and policy makers. As commander of the U.S. forces, he has led with courage, moral leadership, and a dedication to the pursuit of the highest values in our military.
