Exclusive—Dakota Meyer: The Army Can’t Afford Leaders Who Have Never Had to Carry Out the Order
Washington has no shortage of people who know how to make a decision. What every soldier needs to know is whether the person making it understands what happens after the order leaves the building. Anyone who has served, knows the feeling of wishing that someone several levels above understood what they were asking. I learned that lesson in Ganjgal. My team was trapped under heavy fire, calling for support that was not reaching them.
Dakota Meyer: Tulsi Gabbard Always Fights For America First
Since the moment President Donald Trump decided to name Tulsi Gabbard as his Director of National Intelligence, it was clear she was going to enter the job under fire. The Wall Street Journal has targeted her. National Review has targeted her. The Washington Post and the New York Times and — let’s just say a veritable host of legacy media outlets and gossip rags have all run attacks on her. On X, she is a frequent target of internet gadflies who want her out of the job.
AFGHANISTAN, THE LIE OF “WE LEFT THEM BEHIND”. THE COST OF BELIEVING IT AND WHAT WE MUST FIX NOW
The vetting process during the Afghan pullout collapsed and thousands were brought here without the scrutiny required for national security. Americans were emotionally manipulated by nonprofits and public messaging that bypassed basic safety protocols. It took years to vet our real allies, the Afghans who truly fought beside us. Many of them were left behind. Recent attacks are not surprising; they are the predictable outcome of a reckless process. Not all Afghans are the same.
A CALL TO CIVIL WAR - AND IT’S COMING FROM INSIDE CONGRESS
Sitting elected officials are now openly telling U.S. service members to defy orders — that is a direct threat to the stability of this country. Senator Mark Kelly’s statement — “you can refuse illegal orders” — is being weaponized as a Trojan horse to undermine trust in the Commander in Chief and the chain of command. This is not about parties. This is about leaders who have forgotten that they serve the people — not their own political survival.
THE ULTIMATE GIRL DAD: WHY I’M TEAMING UP WITH XX-XY ATHLETICS
THE BLUF (BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT) Weak men have manipulated the world into believing lies that erase women. Women aren’t weak — they’re sacred. Women shouldn’t be protected out of pity, but out of value. Men must honor women — not control them, not silence them, but stand with them. Masculinity isn’t toxic — it’s necessary. The ultimate feminist? A Girl Dad. ANNOUNCEMENT I’m proud to announce my partnership with XX-XY Athletics, founded by Jennifer Sey.

Dakota Meyer: On Veterans Day, honor those who served and focus on what unites us
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! As we salute all American veterans on this special day, we must not forget that freedom is not free. Veterans Day is a day to honor and respect those who have served and protected our great nation, and those who continue to help secure our future. As proud Americans, we need to stand united as one nation. Fact is, all of us stand on the shoulders of so many who have gone before and willingly put themselves in harm's way.

It’s time to legalize medical marijuana in Kentucky
For years, Kentucky veterans have approached us with a question that has no good answer: “Why are my comrades in other states able to treat PTSD and pain with medical cannabis while I cannot?” Frustrated and confused, these men and women struggle daily with the effects of post-traumatic stress triggered by the horrors of war and chronic pain from injuries suffered in combat. One is Eric Pollack whose PTSD became so unbearable that he nearly became part of a depressing statistic.

Medal Of Honor Recipient: ‘The Moment I Realized Parenting Is The Hardest Thing I’ll Ever Do’
I’ve always been one of those men who sat back and looked at the whole being a “parent” thing as no big deal. I have heard people say “being a parent is the hardest thing you’ll ever do!” many times. I always thought in the back of my mind, “Hell, how hard could it be? You just tell them what to do and if they don’t listen, you discipline them.” Oh hell, was I wrong.
Dakota Meyer On Why Trump Is Wrong To Ban Muslims
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump wants to ban Muslims from entering the United States. This, frankly, is the last straw in a high stack of ignorant mob panhandling ideas that have come out of his mouth since he announced his candidacy.
The Real Issue With Not Labeling ISIS "Radical Islamic Terrorism"
As many keep talking about the label of “Radical Islamic Terrorism,” I will tell you the reason why ISIS needs to be labeled what it is. I don’t believe that the real issues are being laid out. I feel that, by not calling this issue Radical Islamic Terrorism, we’re actually hurting the majority of the Muslims who view this ethos as negatively as I do. By not calling a spade a spade, we are not clearly separating the two, which is causing them to be dragged into the same bucket as ISIS.
