## Resource

Marine Corps Veteran Angelo A.J. Pasciuti joins the Brian Kilmeade Show to share raw, firsthand accounts from the front lines of the invasion of Iraq and the fierce Battle of Fallujah. Pasciuti, author of the brand-new book Dark Horse: Harnessing the Hidden Potential in War and Life, fiercely challenges the mainstream media narrative that the Iraq War was a mistake, detailing the hard-fought victories and the profound gravity of securing Iraq's first democratic election in 40 years. He breaks down critical leadership lessons on overcoming failure, the mental taxing of eliminating terrorists, and issues a stark warning about how political policymakers "lose the plot" when military objectives shift into nation-building.
