AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP'S NOMINEE FOR SECRETARY OF DEFENSE Real men fought for our freedoms. It’s time we fought for theirs. Pete Hegseth joined the Army to fight extremists. Then that same Army called him one. The military Pete joined twenty years ago was fiercely focused on lethality, competency, and color blindness. Today our brass, suffering from failed military leadership, are following the rest of our country off the cliff of cultural chaos and weakness. Americans with common sense are fighting this on many fronts, but if we can’t save the meritocracy of our military, we’re definitely going to lose everywhere else. This blistering work of political commentary, The War on Warriors, uncovers the deep roots of our dysfunction—a society that has forgotten the men who take risks, cut through red tape, and get their hands dirty. The only kind of men prepared to face the dan­gers that the Left pretends don’t exist. Unlike issues of education or taxes or crime, this problem doesn’t have a zip code solution. We can’t move away from it. We can’t avoid it. We have only one Pentagon. Either we take it back or surrender it altogether. Combining his own war experiences, tales of outrage, and an incisive look at how the chain of com­mand got so kinked, this book is the key to saving our warriors, restoring military readiness, and winning future wars. The War on War­riors must be won by the good guys, because when the shooting really starts, they’re the only ones who can save us. This is the battle plan to take back our military: A Veteran’s Warning: Read Hegseth’s firsthand account of going from combat infantryman in Iraq and Afghanistan to being labeled an ‘extremist’ by the very same Army he served. Woke Military Exposed: Uncover how Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies are intentionally weakening our fighting force from within, prioritizing social experiments over lethality. Failed Leadership: Examine the crisis of accountability in the Pentagon, where careerist generals betray their constitutional oath to appease political ideologues. The War on Men: Learn how the crusade against masculinity and meritocracy is driving away the strong, patriotic men who have always been the backbone of America’s defense.
