Another great video Dr. Carter. At a time when there is a proliferation of military 'legacy channels', you have carved out a unique, niche approach and long may it continue. "You want to take a chance?". A fairly benign question to an incredibly hazardous existence in the Ravens. And to then have it complicated further by chain of command issues. Great work.

I remember serving time in the Gulf of Tonkin in '68. At the time we all whole heartedly agreed with our purpose in fighting the North Vietnamese. We were saving the world from communism. We actually thought the government of South Vietnam (which was even more corrupt than America's) was worth our blood and treasure to defend. I thought this for years afterward. Then I learned about the shadow government, the money monopoly that funded wars at will, set up kings and removed kings. Got incredibly rich dealing in arms, drugs and human trafficking, etc. We are now about to change that tyrrany for good.

@@CarterOnConflict I enjoyed your video,sir. It brought back some memories. To your question, there are many "sleepers" who are loyal to our Constitution who for quite a while have been very strategically placed, infiltrating the deep state, or "the swamp" if you will. These folks occupy strategic places in Military Intel and other positions in government. Some of them have agreed from the outset to appear to be in agreement with those that will shortly be investigated and indicted for treason, sedition or crimes against humanity. This movement has been active at least since October 2017. The immediate purpose for Trump creating Space Force back when he did was to have at his disposal ALL comms of the enemy, both foreign and domestic, available to the "white hats" for the purpose of anticipating their moves and their capabilities, so that effective countermeasures could be put in place. This is why recently the deep state players have been stymied and exposed to public scrutiny and government investigations. This is a process to help the sleeping public to wake up and recognize that on November 3, 2020 a coup, overthrowing a duly elected President took place thru a fraudulent election process. Those who willingly participated will be indicted for treason against the United States. Many others who have participated in other high crimes will be indicted as well. The process of exposures and investigations of these corrupt individuals extends thruout society. Many in Hollywood will be exposed to a shocked, appalled and dismayed public. The Brunson Case will come up again before the Supreme Court. This time the Court will hear it. This exposure of the fraudulence of this so-called administration and of the 2020 election will bring considerable devastation to the deep state players. Again the public will be shocked. There is more to share, but prepare your house to endure some rough times for a short while, as the "good guys" in the military, who stand by their oath, prepare to secure our rightful President's office. They recognize him alone to be the true Commander in Chief. Much of this will play out this year and into the first half of 2025. Be assured that God is with those whom He has raised up for righteous change and restoration. In the end it is actually His Plan.
