YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWashington is obsessed with Iran. Meanwhile, America is falling apart.
73% of Americans say healthcare costs are crushing them. 66% say inflation is their biggest problem. 64% say the federal deficit is out of control. And Washington's answer is more foreign policy.
In this video I'm applying military mission discipline to the real crisis — not in the Strait of Hormuz, but right here at home. Gas prices. Inflation. The border. The SAVE Act. Veterans. Infrastructure. These are the missions that actually matter to the people funding Washington's foreign adventures with their tax dollars.
I spent 20 years in the submarine force. I know what mission creep looks like. And right now, America has a terminal case of it.
This isn't anti-military. This is pro-strategy. Strength abroad starts with strength at home.
