And the subtitle is very powerful as well, The War on Warriors, Behind the Betrayal of the Men Who Keep

We've come a long way since then. Some very good things have happened because of organizations like Stand With Warriors, because the work you're doing, getting this information out to the public. Congress acted, and they changed the National Defense Authorization Act so that court martial isn't a threat anymore for most military members.

People don't die in war. For nothing they die because they love their brothers they love their neighbor and there's a standard that they know they're upholding. They don't just die for freedom and democracy, but they die for their their fellow, you know sailors fellow Marines soldiers that are to the left and right and they all have a common cause a common bond a common love for each other and They want to defend each other's life and that's what the military is built on is a common standard the rule of law and Making sure that injustice does not go unpunished and yet now our Department of Defense our Pentagon leadership is more concerned about aborting children in America and Funding terrorists in Hamas and letting you know, Afghanistan get overrun by the Taliban we just spent 20 years and thousands of service members lives trillions of dollars trying to to Create a safe environment.

This week, I will reinstate any service members who were unjustly expelled from our military for objecting to the covid vaccine mandate with full back pain. And I will sign an order to stop our warriors from being subjected to radical political theories and social experiments while on duty.

Something that is a direct blow to our God given personal liberty. We did, and still view these warriors as our last line of defense against all out oppression. These godly men swore an oath to the Constitution and intend to keep it, and so we desire to encourage them to take a stand under the banner Lex Rex, or The Law is King.

That's one of the main tasks with Stand With Warriors now is we're trying to build out kind of an ecosystem of military guys and also lawyers who can go and have these battles to upgrade your discharges.

They're our best warriors, the best warriors in history. But when they take these stands, they do so because of their Christian commitments and their fidelity to the word of God and the Christian worldview.

I mean, we look back on that, we realize how absurd that is but that's what's unique about our oath in the United States military to the constitution unique in world history that that's the oath that was made but it's so important, so as a Christian you understand, it's an oath to the constitution it's an oath to the principles of what our nation is about, which is why so many people were convicted over COVID because the executive branch was ignoring the law, and that created a constitutional crisis, so that's what we're really looking at here, is we're looking at finding ways to get the right people like Captain Geary who we can support when they're taking a stand for truth and for the constitution and tell their stories, in doing that we share the gospel, regardless of the outcome, we have the opportunity to share the gospel where we're taking a stand for truth and we're hoping the whole idea behind Stand With Warriors is inspiring other people within the military and throughout society to be bold in their faith to be bold in talking about their faith and to hopefully see revival within the military spread throughout all of society, that's.

But we need that warrior mindset. We call it Stand With Warriors. So you'll see what our emblem looks like. We make an homage back to Spartan era men standing there with their shields, and it's three shields, why?

These are men and women who demonstrated courage, honor, and commitment. Men and women who left a legacy for our next generation, a legacy of freedom. Many who paid the ultimate sacrifice so that we could live today in the greatest nation, America, the land of the free, the home of the brave.

They do not want to come out publicly and use the Trident for any personal gain. These are men that ultimately and this sounds odd in terms of talking about the best warriors in the world. They can't speak for themselves.

It's always men of war men going out to war counting the men, you know who are going out for a word. There's no female going out to war because they're not made for it man. They're not made for it now maybe if you put a put a lady on a bunch of testosterone and you have a bunch of guys who like have you know.

word from Pete Hegseth of Fox News that he will be our guest on Friday to discuss his new book, The War

Has there not been a fundamental betrayal of what those men did in a very, very short period of time? And it certainly makes me wonder, makes me think a lot about that, and about the fact that a people who forget their own history, or even worse, a people who are embarrassed by their own history, are people without any connection to the past, they have no guideposts for the future.

But as we think on their sacrifice. Always be mindful of the young men and women. Who are the rough men and women of today that are doing violence on our behalf this very day? And let us also raise our sons.

And we forget that we are at war. The shiny boots are gone. The reason I say that we forgot is because we are not Living as though we are engaged in a battle. Think about this. Let's say all of us. Everyone in this room by some stretch of the imagination is drafted into a war and we go to war with let's say China.

We're not in bondage to those anymore. We're not slaves to those anymore. We're free to move forward in a meaningful, purposeful way. Since that time, the wars have changed. The number of deployed folks have changed.

We have an anonymous listener who has a question for you. During these dark days that we live in, do you recommend and encourage people that you know to enlist in the military? It seems, though, that the military is taking some official positions that are anti -Christian, anti -Scripture, a lot of it driven by intersectionality and the social justice warrior movement and critical race theory.

You're endangering the lives of your fellow service members. And so we really did nothing for 18 months, which is unbelievable that you would have some of the highest skilled, highest trained members of the military doing nothing for 18 months.
