Did you see it? I did. The big, beautiful parade. The 250th birthday celebration of the U.S. Army. The honor, the strength, the legacy. Pro-America. Peace through strength personified. In one fell swoop the U.S. Army shook off its Biden malaise, squared its shoulders, spit on the ground and got its swagger back. It felt like the Reagan era. I know. Because I was there. In 1986, I was just a year removed from casting my first vote when I pulled the lever for Ronald Reagan.

Phil WilliamsContributorWhen I was in public office, I had both supporters and detractors. There were those who stood with me and by me, and there were those who looked for any opportunity to attack. It was actually amazing to encounter what the late Rush Limbaugh called “low-information voters,” those who acted with their lack of understanding fully intact. "I have never said that low-information voters are stupid. I just said they don't know what they think they know.” Limbaugh said.

In the midst of a long-range military patrol, my team conducted a “village assessment” in the early days of the war in Afghanistan ― a snapshot of life in remote areas to determine whether Taliban or Al-Qaeda holdouts were present. We gathered active and passive intelligence for a clearer picture of the area of operations, and sometimes we gleaned meaningful ways to better the lives of a war-torn people.
