YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Ken Harbaugh sits down with Fred Wellman — former public affairs officer for the 101st Airborne and spokesman for Generals Petraeus and Dempsey — to dissect how Pete Hegseth is losing both the war and the information battle. With the Pentagon's press ban drawing court rebukes and a majority of Americans opposing the conflict, Wellman breaks down what effective military communications looks like, and why this Pentagon is failing by every measure — plus his own run for Congress.
