When President Trump ordered Operation Epic Fury to dismantle Iran’s strike infrastructure, the American military moved with surgical force to neutralize a regime that has terrorized our people and threatened our allies for decades. This was not adventurism — it was a clear, calculated response to years of Iranian aggression and a necessary effort to protect U.S. lives and global stability. The Pentagon and CENTCOM made the stakes plain and the mission undeniable.
On my show and across conservative airwaves, former service members and front-line veterans have been blunt: Americans should feel a righteous resolve, not shame, about taking the fight to those who have declared war on us and our partners. Carl Higbie’s conversations with soldiers cut through the media noise and reminded viewers that this is about defending Americans and honoring the oath those men and women swore. Those voices of experience deserve to shape the debate, not the shrill hand-wringing of people with no skin in the game.
Make no mistake about the scale: this is a sustained campaign. U.S. and allied forces have mounted thousands of combat sorties to degrade Iran’s missiles, drones, naval assets, and command nodes, and the price of standing down would have been far higher in lives and leverage. The logistics and expense are real, but they are the cost of security — and a measured, military-first approach is cheaper in blood and treasure than endless concessions.
Meanwhile, partisan reflexes kicked in on the left, with some Democrats more eager to score political points than to stand with the troops facing danger overseas. That spectacle only underlines why America needs leaders who put national security ahead of media optics and campaign math. Conservatives must call out performative opposition and insist on unity when Americans in uniform are in harm’s way.
This moment demands clarity and toughness: we back our soldiers, we give commanders the tools to finish the mission, and we deny Iran the ability to blackmail the world with its proxies and missiles. Weakness is not a strategy; decisive action that preserves American lives and deters future aggression is. If we believe in American strength, then we must be willing to see the operation through until our military objectives are achieved.
For every politician who lectures from a safe distance, there are fathers, mothers, and veterans who know what courage looks like — and they expect their country to act like the great republic it still is. Let Washington quit the excuses, fund the mission, and treat our service members with the respect and support they have earned. America is strongest when we are united, resolute, and unapologetic about defending our freedoms and our people.
