Born and raised in New York City, Eric W. Hommel is a prior-enlisted U.S. Navy Cold War submariner, and retired U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel (with a fine arts degree). He is a veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars (as a ground battle-space commander, and commander of the Provincial Reconstruction Team in Afghanistan’s Panjshir province). In Iraq and Afghanistan, he worked under U.S. Army command. He spent ten years attached to the Pentagon, with three of those years working and traveling with Congressional Representatives as a military Legislative Liaison. Post-military, he is recognized as a stability operations expert, having trained government officials to go to war for over a decade.
His memoir, "The Losing Game: How to Lose a War and Fail Veterans" is THE ONLY first-person account to take ownership of, and explore our failed mission in Afghanistan, where misguided leadership snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
