No more politics—just the truth about what we can and must
do to protect ourselves. Fox News military analyst Colonel David Hunt has dedicated
his career to fighting terrorism. A twenty-nine-year U.S.
Army veteran, he has helped take out an active terrorist
camp, trained the FBI and Special Forces in counterterrorism
tactics, and served as security adviser to six different
Olympic Games. And Colonel Hunt is angry. Why? Because even after the
terrorist attacks on our country and on Americans around the
world, the people charged with protecting us—the politicians
and the bureaucrats in military and intelligence—still
aren’t getting the job done. They Just Don’t Get It provides a much-needed wake-up call
to all Americans. As politicians posture and pundits bicker,
we’re losing sight of the fundamental problem: We’re still
not equipped to win the War on Terror. In fact, the
terrorist threat is far worse than we feared, as made
frighteningly clear by the fifty pages of documents
published here for the first time—including a shocking
manual taken from the terrorists themselves. But instead of just complaining, Colonel Hunt tells us
exactly what we must do—without regard to political
game-playing—to emerge victorious in the challenge that
history has given us. These are changes we can make at every
level—as individual citizens, as a government, and as a
military power. As he shows in this book, while the
government and our military lead the fight to protect us,
ordinary citizens can and must contribute. They Just Don’t Get It reveals: • What you can do to keep your family safe • How many of the government’s recent “reforms” are mere
window dressing or, worse, counterproductive • How we can fight this war and still safeguard our civil
liberties and the American way of life • How to fix the intelligence disaster (and yes, the
politicians in D.C. still haven’t fixed it) • How we got into this mess in the first place: it’s mostly
because our government let the problem fester for three decades Colonel Hunt is no cautious bureaucrat or finger-pointer
looking for political gain. He is a straight shooter with
deep insight into what’s happening in the War on Terror—on
the ground and in the government. They Just Don’t Get It
lays out in clear and compelling terms the steps we must
take—all of us—to win the War on Terror and ensure our
survival as a free, proud, and strong nation. From They Just Don’t Get It We’re fighting a war for our very survival, so we’d better
figure out how to win. That’s why I’m writing this book—to
show us how we can win, how we can protect ourselves. As a
Fox News military analyst, I’m paid to offer insight into
how our armed forces are conducting the fight against our
enemies. But this book shows that to win the War on Terror
we need to concern ourselves with more than just military
tactics. For one thing, we need to look at what our political leaders
are doing. The sad truth is that they still don’t get it. Then there’s intelligence. You’ve heard about our
intelligence failures, but I doubt you know how bad it
really is—even after the “reforms.” I’m going to tell you. And another critical dimension to this story usually gets
overlooked—what you can do. The fact is, you can do a lot.
Hell, you must do a lot.
