Episode Thirteen – “The Doctrine of Strength—Rebuilding American Leadership in a Dangerous World”

In this episode, Lynn Scheid confronts the fading credibility of American power and outlines a bold, urgent doctrine to restore it. He explains how the triangle of national strength—military readiness, economic independence, and moral clarity—once made the United States the world’s stabilizing force, and how its erosion has invited global instability. From recruitment crises to aging equipment, from strategic drift to political distraction, Scheid lays out the facts and the fixes. This is not a call for endless war—it’s a call for deterrence through strength, leadership through resolve, and security through self-reliance.
