Excited to announce my new book UNFIT TO FIGHT: How Woke Policies are Destroying our Military will be published Spring 2024. PREORDER now! (link in bio)

https://amzn.to/3shVeFt

Here's how my publisher describes Unfit to Fight:

Our Woke Military Could Lose the Next War

Wokeness used to be an annoying distraction in the U.S. military. Now it is a major threat to national security.

Faster than most of us thought possible, our military has become a woke, dysfunctional bureaucracy focused not on winning wars but on identity politics, gender ideology, climate change, and other favored causes of the leftist elite.

Don’t think that China isn’t watching. Don’t think that Russia, Iran, and North Korea haven’t noticed.

But so has Amber Smith, a former U.S. Army combat helicopter pilot and Deputy Assistant to the Secretary of Defense. In her riveting new book, Unfit to Fight, she sounds the alarm that our military and our nation are at grave risk.

In Unfit to Fight, you’ll learn:
Why the military should not “reflect American society,” but be a select group of lethal professionals
How the Pentagon rewards lowered standards for the sake of “diversity”
Why failure often leads to promotion—if you have the right friends
Why a return to combat merit, battlefield mission, and trust in leadership are essential—or we will lose our next war

Elections, as they say, have consequences, and catastrophic damage to national security is among the most important. Amber Smith’s Unfit to Fight needs to be in the hands of everyone who cares about our military and our survival as a nation.

Has this ever happened to anyone? 12 eggs in one carton, all double yolks… 👀 Should I buy a lottery ticket? The weirdest thing ever!

PS - they were great…they were organic eggs from Shenandoah Family Farms (Tranquil Acres) bought @wholefoods.

It's Media Monday 🎥 Let's talk about fear.

I've seen accomplished senior military officers, high-level government officials, and successful business leaders freeze when asked questions from the media, before an interview, before a speaking engagement, or even during a social media Live. It's happened to everyone at some point.

How do you overcome it?

💡Confident planning. Familiarize yourself with the topic, ensure you know your messaging.

💡 Media training. Invest in yourself. It will pay back dividends.

💡 Focus on body language: Stand tall, maintain good posture, and make eye contact with the camera or interviewer. Non-verbal cues can convey confidence and engagement.

💡 Embrace authenticity: Be yourself and let your personality shine through. Authenticity resonates with audiences and fosters connection.
