Sebastian Gorka - Why We Fight - Why We Fight - Defeating America's Enemies - With No Apologies

—JUDGE JEANINE PIRRO, host of Justice with Judge Jeanine and author of Liars, Leakers, and Liberals

“America stands for liberty and as a result, we will always have enemies. Sebastian Gorka’s Why We Fight gives us the plan to defeat them and keep our republic safe while sharing the stirring stories of some of our nation’s greatest heroes. If you believe in ‘America First!’ this is your book.”

—MARK LEVIN, host of the Mark Levin Show and author of Rediscovering Americanism

“With Donald Trump as president, America is back, and we are Making America Great Again. Dr. Gorka is one of the most important MAGA voices we have, and in Why We Fight , he shows us what it will take to defeat our enemies and just why America is so special. Buy it. Read it. And spread the word.”

—SEAN HANNITY, host of The Sean Hannity Show and author of three books, including the national bestsellers Conservative Victory and Deliver Us from Evil

“Why has America often become mired in inconclusive, postwar unconventional conflicts? In a study, historical analysis, critique of military analysts, and memoir as a former Trump administration security advisor, Sebastian Gorka persuasively argues that the absence of willpower, unity, common sense, and political and moral clarity is usually the culprit—not just the inherent dangers of the nuclear age or asymmetrical warfare. An accessible, inspiring, and needed discussion of a classic American dilemma.”

—VICTOR DAVIS HANSON, Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution and author of The Second World Wars

“Donald Trump is fearlessly restoring the America of our Founding Fathers and making all Americans safe again. Sebastian Gorka was his strategist. Dr. Gorka knows Donald Trump and the threats we face. Buy and read Why We Fight to find how we win and what it means to be an American hero.”

—RUSH LIMBAUGH, radio talk show host of The Rush Limbaugh Show and bestselling author of the Rush Revere series

“Sebastian Gorka understands my father, the significance of the historic November 8, 2016 election, and the power of the Make America Great Again movement. Why We Fight provides deep insight into the threats America faces and how to keep our country strong. Under President Trump, America is back!”

—ERIC TRUMP, Executive Vice President of The Trump Organization

He had, in fact, already attended officer candidate school in 1919, and he had been commissioned in the reserves five years before shipping out to Haiti. Because of the reduction in strength of the corps after World War I, however, his officer rank was inactive, and he remained a corporal until returning to the mainland.

To this day, marines on basic training can be heard intoning the cry “Chesty Puller never quit!” when tried to their limit and beyond.

This account is a summary of the full story found in Captain McDaniel’s autobiography (written with the assistance of James L. Johnson), Scars & Stripes: The True Story of One Man’s Courage in Facing Death as a Vietnam POW (Nashville: Broadman Press, 1975). I am honored to have met Captain McDaniel and treasure the signed and dedicated copy of his book that he gave me.

This method is strikingly similar to the one my father suffered in the basement of the communist secret police headquarters in Budapest, although he was bound with wire rather than rope. The human body has been the same anatomically for millennia, thus it is unsurprising that torture methods have evolved little over time.

Scars & Stripes , op. cit.

Column 1, Row 1, stood for the letter A, along the way to 5/5 for Z. In this way the abbreviation for the Viet Cong, VC, could be conveyed by tapping five times, followed by a pause, then one tap, followed by one tap, pause, and then three more.

Scars & Stripes, pp. 15–16.

Incredibly, the North Vietnamese didn’t even confirm that McDaniel was alive until 1970, three years after he had been captured.

Chambers’ given name was Jay Vivian, but he was known as Whittaker, his mother’s maiden name.

The following chronology is based in part on the excellent introductory lecture “Whittaker Chambers’ Witness for the Twenty-first Century” by Dr. Greg Forster, posted by the Acton Institute: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNlTigcvcpM.

Whittaker Chambers: Witness , Regnery History, originally published in 1952.

To this day there are those who insist on Hiss’s innocence, even though the ultra-secret Venona intercepts, since declassified, clearly show that he was not only a secret communist but an agent of Stalin and the Soviets.

C-SPAN still has many video links of the original HUAC footage, starting with this one of Hiss’s denial and Chambers’ response: https://www.c-span.org/video/?79536-1/hiss-chambers-hearing

In 1984, Whittaker Chambers was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Ronald Reagan for his contribution to “the century’s epic struggle between freedom and totalitarianism.”
