Extra: A Combat Vet on Masculinity, the Military, and Uniting America

The Trump administration’s push to return the U.S. military to “basics” emphasizes a warrior ethos, readiness, and accountability. But behind the uniform, service members navigate deeply nuanced human experiences.

Marine combat veteran and Dark Horse author A.J. Pasciuti joined the FOX News Rundown with Lisa Brady recently to share his raw lessons on loss, leadership, and the critical role of empathy in both war and life.

Pasciuti also explains how his experiences on the battlefield have shown that Americans can overcome political divides to achieve great things, and how he hopes that celebrating America’s 250th birthday will unite the country.

We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full conversation.

Today on the FOX News Rundown Extra, we share our entire interview with A.J. Pasciuti.
