Carl Higbie used Thursday’s Frontline to cut through the noise and call out a dangerous trend: Americans who once cheered our troops now balk at supporting our country’s response to Iran, and that betrayal is nothing short of a slap in the face to those who wear the uniform. His show has been a platform for leaders who agree that wavering at a moment of national test is unacceptable.
Watching prominent Democrats and cultural elites pivot from caution to outright hostility toward U.S. actions is infuriating and unpatriotic; Senator Tim Sheehy bluntly called out Democrats for “rooting against America” on Higbie’s program, and he’s right. This isn’t mere dissent — it’s a dangerous posture that emboldens our enemies and demoralizes the brave Americans who execute orders on the battlefield.
Conservative leaders on the show made the case that decisive American strength is what secures liberty around the world, not endless appeasement or moral relativism. Senators and representatives who joined Higbie emphasized that this operation is about stopping a malign regime that sponsors terror and threatens our allies, and Republicans rightly framed it as necessary pressure to protect American lives.
The media and the left’s reflexive criticism of America’s use of force is predictable, but it’s also cowardly — especially when it comes from those who have never sacrificed. Congressman Thomas Massie warned that Congress owes the military a clear debate and mission objectives so our troops don’t become pawns in a never-ending foreign quagmire, a sober reminder that accountability and support go hand in hand.
Beyond politics, this is about solidarity with the men and women who answer the call to defend our nation. Officials on Higbie’s show noted that strong domestic policy, like energy independence, underpins our ability to withstand geopolitical shocks, proving that backing our troops includes shoring up the economy and resources they need to win.
Patriotic Americans must stop tolerating performative outrage that chips away at our moral cohesion and military effectiveness. If you love your country and respect its defenders, now is not the time to defect or to moralize from a distance — it’s time to stand with our troops, demand clarity from our leaders, and hold accountable anyone whose shifting loyalties weaken America’s hand abroad.
