We sit down with West Point graduate Preston Stewart to talk about combat deployments in Afghanistan, the realities of leadership under fire, and the challenges of transitioning out of the military. He shares how he built a YouTube career breaking down modern warfare, from Ukraine to emerging drone tactics. We also discuss how technology is reshaping the battlefield and what it means for the future of war.
