From the USS Cole to Today: Brent Sadler Examines the Navy’s Global Security Role

WFEA Radio host Jeff Chidester sits down with global politics expert, Fox News contributor, and national defense analyst Brent Sadler, Senior Research Fellow for Naval Warfare and Advanced Technology at the Allison Center for National Security.

Marking the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, Sadler explores the enduring lessons of the Global War on Terror and discusses the pivotal, evolving role of the U.S. Navy in securing the homeland and deterring emerging threats.

Drawing from his recent pieces, “The Key Lesson of the Global War on Terror” and “From Before 9/11 to Today, the Navy Is Key Weapon in Fight Against Al Qaeda,” Sadler outlines why national vigilance, decisive strategy, and naval readiness remain critical to American defense.
