So says Fox News military analyst Colonel David Hunt in a book that cuts like a buzz saw through the half-measures and half-truths, the dangerous timidity, and the outright stupidity thatโif left uncheckedโwill lead America to lose the War on Terror.
In the hard-hitting On the Hunt, Colonel Hunt draws on his twenty-nine years of active military service and his high-level military and intelligence contacts to give an inside perspective on this global struggle, setting him far apart from the usual pundits and talking heads. Here he presents fifty pages of previously unpublished documents that reveal the chillingly detailed plans of the terrorists and insurgents who target Americans, as well as U.S. tactics to stop our enemies.
From the Department of Homeland Security (โGet rid of it. Scrap it.โ) to military leaders who have almost zero combat experience to risk-averse, politically correct strategic decision-making, Colonel Hunt pinpoints dire problems that need to be fixed before itโs too late (which it nearly is). Offering real solutions that most politicians and pundits are too timid to talk about, On the Hunt lays out specific steps to:
โข Win the war in Iraq by changing the way we fightโby taking the gloves off and, in doing so, honoring the sacrifices our soldiers are making โข Deal with Iran, North Korea, and other dangerous threats โข Solve the illegal immigration crisis and keep Americaโs enemies from breaching our borders (both of them) โข Make our towns and cities more secureโnot by looking to the federal bureaucracy but by taking responsibility ourselves โข Protect the liberties of American citizens at home โข Ensure that our soldiers are trained and equipped to fight todayโs and tomorrowโs wars
As Colonel Huntโs millions of viewers on Fox News and all the readers of his bestselling book They Just Donโt Get It will expect, he pulls no punches while incisively analyzing a war unlike any other. In On the Hunt, Colonel Hunt reveals exactly how high the stakes really are in the War on Terror. He condemns failed policies and the people who made them (and, yes, he names names). And most important, he clearly identifies the strategies, tactics, and qualities of leadership that we must bring to bear to ensure the survival of the proud and free nation we love.
