In an excerpt from his interview at the Air Force Association’s 2017 Air, Space & Cyber conference and trade show, Gen. Tony McPeak, USAF Ret., 14th US Air Force chief of staff and a 2017 Air Force Association Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, calls North Korea “the biggest security problem” he’s ever seen and says he thinks the US needs “to militarily dismantle” its nuclear capability “in a fairly near term.” The event was held in National Harbor, Md., just outside of Washington. The Defense & Aerospace Report’s coverage is sponsored by L3 Technologies & Leonardo DRS, and this interview is in partnership with the Air Force Association.
