In this raw, unfiltered segment, Mac revisits the years when politics, information operations, and ambition collided with reality on the ground. He describes seeing a high-profile quote—“the war is lost”—amplified inside Al-Qaeda propaganda while Marines and soldiers were still fighting and dying. Mac argues the truth wasn’t lost; moral courage was.
He also calls out senior leaders who knew what was happening overseas yet came home and said something different—because telling the truth could cost promotions and careers. If we demand moral courage from young troops, he asks, why don’t we demand it from our generals and elected officials?
