(1) Aloha! You haven’t heard much from me lately as I’ve been gone for the last 4 months on an active duty tour & deployment to Africa as a Civil Affairs officer supporting a Special Forces mission to go after al-Qaeda-affiliated jihadists. It was truly my honor to work …
(2) … with incredible patriots - experienced, focused warriors with an unwavering commitment to serve our country. We should never forget that no matter the decisions made by politicians/careerists in the Pentagon, it is our men and women in uniform who selflessly & quietly …
(3) … defend the safety, security & freedom of our country every single day. I haven’t posted much since I was gone because I was asked not to talk about my going overseas until my mission was complete. Al-Qaeda is very active where we were …
(4) …and as someone who has a high profile, I would’ve been a prime target for the enemy, putting my life and the lives of my fellow service members and our mission in greater danger. I look forward to discussing the foreign and domestic issues and challenges facing our country.

Afghanistan. After al-Qaeda terrorists attacked us on 9/11, brave warriors, special forces quickly deployed to defeat al-Qaeda in Afghanistan. They accomplished their mission rapidly and effectively. THAT is when they should have returned home. But the elite wanted…
…to nation-build, getting us into a 20-year war with no clear mission or strategy, causing massive suffering and wasting trillions of taxpayer dollars.
Afghanistan. The question is this: Will we hold accountable the elite (political leaders, MSM, military leaders, and defense contractors, etc.) who got us into and kept us in this foolish, short-sighted mission to turn Afghanistan into a “democracy”—costing…

I’m glad some of my former colleagues in Congress are speaking out against the recent unconstitutional airstrikes in Syria—but they’re ignoring the bigger issue: the regime change war the US continues to wage in Syria using al-Qaeda/al-Nusra/HTS terrorists as our proxy...
...ground force, who now occupy and control the city of Idlib, imposing Sharia Law and "cleansing" the area of most Christians & religious minorities. The Biden Administration continues to use the US military to illegally occupy NE Syria to "take the oil" as Trump so crassly...

Like so many, the 9/11 attack on our country by al-Qaeda changed my life forever. It was my motivation to serve our country in uniform & led to my conviction that the ideology fueling al-Qaeda, ISIS & other jihadists is the greatest threat to our country, our values & freedoms.(1
It is my determination to never forget who the enemy is that has guided my policy positions regarding the regime change wars in Iraq, Libya and Syria.

Unfortunately, too many of our leaders & MSM have long forgotten who attacked us on 9/11, forgotten who the enemy is, and (2)
they would like us to forget as well. Long forgotten is President Bush’s declaration to the world that “you’re either with us or against us” (in the war against al-Qaeda and Islamist terrorists). (3)
