The strike in the Caribbean wasn’t about drugs. It was about power unbound from principle.
In Defense One (@defenseone.bsky.social), I explain why this is a warning to all who serve: remember your oath.

A killing at sea marks America’s descent into lawless power

The peremptory strike on a speedboat is a warning to all who serve. Remember your oath.

Fairness and trust keep the Navy strong—not performative outrage. We’re failing that test, and it’s costing good people and hurting the mission. I wrote about it in Defense One: www.defenseone.com/ideas/2025/0...

What is Hegseth so scared of?

The Navy needs leaders like Buzz Donnelly.

I wrote for Defense One (@defenseone.bsky.social) on why banning books at the Naval Academy is a betrayal of everything we’re supposed to stand for: www.defenseone.com/ideas/2025/0...

I went to the Naval Academy to defend freedom, not to dismantle it

Stripping the library of books undermines our Navy—and mimics regimes we spent decades confronting.
