Former Navy SEAL explains why Trump is better for American Security Interests

This week’s news roundup brings a lot of attention to the results of the recent presidential election, where Trump took the victory. Now, whether you love or hate him, it's interesting to consider why people voted for him this time around. Many are saying it’s the ‘fairness principle’ in play-that gut reaction when you see someone treated unfairly. Trump was often painted as a political outsider, bashed by the establishment on both sides, and for many voters, that triggered a response. People don’t like seeing unfair treatment, and that likely drove a lot of support his way.
From a military and strategic standpoint, Trump’s win could mean a shift back to a more restrained approach to foreign engagement. If you look at his first term, he avoided unnecessary conflicts, preferring economic pressure or diplomacy over sending our troops into harm's way without clear purpose. That’s something I think resonates deeply with the military community. Under his leadership, there’s hope for a stable, more measured approach on the world stage-a strategy that prioritizes peace and keeps our military focused on preparedness rather than being stretched thin. Trump’s record shows a trend towards peace through strength, and with that approach, we might see more stability globally.
At the end of the day, whatever side you’re on, it’s critical for all of us in the military community to stay informed, stay united, and stay ready. That’s the news for this week. Thanks for tuning in, SOFREP family, and we’ll keep an eye on what’s next.

Basically, Trump doesn't bow down to the Military Industrial Complex, kissing their a$$. Now, platforms with larger followers need to help us keep our country from the far extreme sides and more grounded. Stay safe, and God bless

There is no military industrial complex, there hasn't been since the 1950s. That's a myth, if it were true, there would be no civilian military fusion - and 1/4 of the defense budget would not be salaries, pensions, & the VA would not be 1/4 the budget of defense alone (VA is 5% of all Fed spending). In a true military-industry focused system - the 'complex', all of those outlays would be building arms instead
