YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Donald Trump has issued a series of aggressive statements regarding Iran, claiming that U.S. forces are "loading up" and "looking forward to its next conquest". Paul Rieckhoff breaks down why this rhetoric is a dangerous departure from the mission of the American service member. From threatening the "lethal persecution and destruction" of Iran to framing our military as a tool for conquest and oil, these statements are making our troops less safe and more hated globally. We drill down into the reality of these threats, the status of the Strait of Hormuz, and why the term "conquest" is a slap in the face to those who wear the uniform.
