"When Was the Last Time We Actually Went to War For Our Freedom?" | Official Preview

In this episode of the Shawn Ryan Show, Fox News host and military veteran Pete Hegseth joins Shawn to unpack the pressing issues facing America’s veterans and active-duty service members. Hegseth highlights the bureaucratic failures within the VA, explaining how it often leaves veterans underserved and overburdened by red tape. He advocates for more privatized healthcare options and discusses the resistance to accountability within the system. The conversation also explores how political correctness and “woke” policies are impacting military effectiveness, eroding traditional standards, and demoralizing service members. Hegseth questions whether he would encourage his own children to serve in today’s military, given these concerns, offering an unfiltered and critical take on the evolving state of American defense and veteran care.
