LTG H.R. McMaster, 34-year Army veteran and former National Security advisor, speaks with “Next Steps Forward” host Chris Meek about his recent book “Battlegrounds: The Fight to Defend the Free World” and the current state of security, freedom and prosperity in the United States. As a soldier, commander, scholar and national security advisor, LTG McMaster brings a unique perspective to problem-solving that everyday Americans and listeners can utilize within their own lives. LTG McMaster will also speak in-depth about the downfall of “strategic narcissism” – the trap of defining problems as we would like them to be instead of defining them on their own terms. In this candid discussion, LTG McMaster calls for listeners to better educate themselves on the important issues of the day and for Americans to work together so that we are fully prepared to secure the future of our nation.
