Warrior Diplomat on the Hill

Mike Waltz is a warrior and a diplomat. In 2014, he wrote a fascinating book called “Warrior Diplomat: A Green Beret’s Battles from Washington to Afghanistan.” In 2015, he was a non-resident senior fellow at FDD. In 2018, he became the first Green Beret elected to Congress, taking the seat that had belonged to the now-Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis.

In the current session of Congress, Rep. Waltz serves on the House Armed Services Committee, the House Foreign Relations Committee, and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

These assignments suggest that he’s thinking harder than ever about national security and foreign policy at a critical and dangerous moment.

He joins host Cliff May along with Bradley Bowman, senior director of FDD’s Center on Military and Political Power, to discuss.
