#9 U.S. Military Identity Crisis · What Are We Even Fighting For?

From “two moms” in Army ads to DEI audits at West Point, America’s military is no longer just a fighting force — it’s a cultural battlefield.

In this episode, host Jim Detjen — a veteran with deep family ties to military service — unpacks the gaslighting, poetic truths, and political reshaping of our service academies since the Obama years. Is the military too woke to win wars? Or is that just the story we’re being sold?

If you care about strength, sacrifice, and who’s writing the next chapter of American defense — this one’s for you.
