Publisher's summary

AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

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 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.

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—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.

Honest account of what the left is doing to our military forces

This was a first hand account - direct and honest. Pete laid it all out how this administration is making our military woke and untrained starting in the White House right down to our military academies! It’s freighting how unprepared we are if attacked by our enemies !

Sad but seemly true

Very much enjoyed this audio book. Pete does a fantastic job of describing the situation with our military. Hopefully it will change some minds prior to this year’s election.

The positive inspiration of Pete, et al, toward God, our country & our children.

The most inspirational, truthful, & compelling book I’ve ever read (or listened to). Thank you for bringing to light the state of mind of this, OUR magnificent country, which has always been (until MLK, Clinton, Obama, & Biden) filled with love of God, truth, courage & honor. EVERY person (not just citizen) in the USA should be made to read (or listen to) this book. Thank you Pete Hegseth (and comrades). You are an Angel in a time of evil!

Truth revealed, fire the traitor generals.

I am a retired Army Reserve Master Sergeant who served in both Iraq and Afghanistan as a volunteer. I was a 52 year-old Master Chaplain Assistant when I first went to Baghdad in April 2003. I was part of ORHA stationed at the Republican Guard Palace, I would not trade my experience for the world. Pete wrote such an excellent book. He articulated my thoughts beautifully and perfectly, except for some of the colorful language, but in the end he explained why he used it and I think it was appropriate, “you can take the boy out of the Army, but you can’t take the Army out of the boy” Hooah! Save my Army, I love like one of my children and grandchildren. Thank you Pete for having the intestinal fortitude to write such a great book, naming the criminal leadership at the top of the Pentagon and the service Academy.

Pulling back the curtain on what is going on with our military

It is always the troops that pay the price in war, our foreign policy is worse than it was when I went to Vietnam in 1971. I enjoyed Pete’s easy way of explaining his trials and tribulations, enjoyed it from start to finish.
Great job, well done
