Unapologetically America First; Perspective on Pete Hegseth’s Remarks 03/02/2026

 Even while early polls suggest a certain trepidation by the Citizenry over this campaign against the Islamist Regime in Iran, the vast majority of Americans support the concept of an America First agenda. The majority of the War Fighting community was energized by Pete’s speech not the debrief on the battle to date but his comments about putting the final nails in the coffin lid housing the astoundingly anti-American, 80 year, Democrat initiated concept of an endless series of protracted wars with crippling ROE’s, denials of Air Support, concerns for enemy combatants and civilians in the battle space over an even insincere public display of a minimal concern for the benefit of our War Fighters; no intention of winning, no victory, no resolution.

Hegseth, speaking for himself and for President Trump and for those of us who have been in Battle and for those of us who have lost loved ones in this 80 year demonic experiment yielding a series of money-making endless Counter Insurgency/Police Actions/Self-Limiting Wars which has done nothing but embolden the enemy, fill the pockets of degenerate politicians and soulless profiteers, assuage the feelings of feckless, unaffected and misplaced concern Leftists and those dripping with disdain for their Country.

That has now ended.

War is not something societies evolve away from. War is as much an inevitability as is Death. Pretending otherwise is for Sci-Fi authors, screen writers and those living in a constant state of dreams. War is a natural consequence of the failure of civil discourse between an aggrieved party and an incalcitrant abuser. Within a civilized society it is resolved in a Court of Law. Between Nations, it is resolved on the Battlefield IF, both sides commit. COIN, was one belligerent telling the other they could win by attrition. Since 1945, that uncommitted belligerent has been us. The fruit of that unforgivable stance has been enrichment of those who supply war materiel, the politicians who speak for them in Congress, the Democrat Party who, speaking on behalf of the Nation, abdicated our Sovereign Duty to defend these shores while minimizing the loss of American War Fighter’s lives and with it our very Sovereignty.

Korea, Vietnam, the Tehran Embassy, the Barracks in Beirut, Bosnia, Somalia, the Cairo Embassy, Benghazi, Afghanistan and more; all under or because of  the failure of Democrat Leadership. American War Fighter’s lives lost, 100,000 and close to a 1,000,000 with catastrophic, life altering injuries, double that with PTSD and 10’s of thousands to related suicide.

NBC’s Richard Engle showed his true colors once again as a feckless, hand-wringing, globalist, never-for-America-first mouthpiece by decrying the attack on Iran in part by marginalizing the “past grievances” in part fueling this Campaign in which the demonically possessed Theocratic, Twelver Regime has racked up a body count of some 2,000 American deaths directly or through proxies; deaths unanswered by every President from Carter to Biden… until Trump.

Like President Jefferson before him (1801 Barbary Pirates), President Trump has said, no more! The world’s leaders had decided to placate/reward the Moslem Corsairs, operating out of Tripoli and for 300 years who attacked shipping, seizing cargo, enslaving crews, selling women to the Ottomans as sex slaves, by paying them ransom and protectionism rather than holding them accountable to the Sword and Cannon. Obama, the morally compromised tool, caught between his oathbound duty to his Office and his competing unquenchable love for the Moslem and Biden the mentally compromised, decided to follow the lead of those reprobate world leaders before Jefferson by loading cargo planes with pallets of currency, prostrating themselves before the Iranian, Theocratic  Regime’s throne, lifting sanctions and ceding the battlespace that the Ayatollahs had created.

Trump, like Jefferson, has ended that much to the chagrin of the political elite and that half of the citizenry who cannot let go of their hatred of one man long enough to discover some shred of abandoned, unique love for their country. I do not expect them to find any love for the War Fighting community. Having lived through the 60’s and having witnessed the quick devolution of the anti-war movement to an unforgivable, insatiable hatred for returning Marines, Soldiers, Airmen, Sailors and Coasties, juxtaposed along side the likes of Omar, Talib, Engle, Maddow, Reid and the thousands who take to the streets flying foreign flags and oozing hatred for the Nation and my fellow War Fighters, I have learned to expect no more or less.

As all wars before and the ones to come, this Operation was inevitable. What wasn’t inevitable or even plausible given the past 47 years was the likelihood of a President who would live up to his Oath, determine to undo the uniquely democrat travesty of 1945 and to make the USA a primary focus again and to put all enemy States back on their heels not to be subservient, but simply to be non-threats.

…until President Donald j Trump and Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth!

Semper Fidelis;
