Today, I sit down with Christopher Brewer, a retired U.S. Army major and Special Forces operator whose 24-year military career was followed by over two decades in global security contracting. Mr. Brewer brings an unparalleled depth of experience, having served as a plank holder in the reactivated 1st Ranger Battalion in 1974, an officer in the 82nd Airborne, and a Special Forces leader operating classified missions across Colombia, Panama, and the Far East. He later worked in Afghanistan, Nigeria, and the UAE, applying his expertise in high-threat security environments.
In this episode, we breakdown and discuss the difference between true leadership and careerism in the military, as Mr. Brewer explains how integrity, honesty, and putting your people first often come at a cost. We dig into the flaws of military promotion systems, the political pressures inside the ranks, and how DEI initiatives and lowered standards have complicated national defense. We also talk about what happens when the military tries to “chase” recruits by weakening its identity — and how returning to higher expectations is starting to restore pride and performance across the force.
Mr. Brewer shares his powerful philosophy on endurance, explaining how his military journey taught him to never quit on something that matters, and how the political phases and presidential cycles affect the military. We also talk about his post-retirement work as a military author, documenting everything from Cold War-era Ranger stories to declassified missions with shocking behind-the-scenes realities.
