About this video

Retired Navy SEAL Micah Fink discusses his experiences serving in SEAL Delivery Vehicle (SDV) teams, describing covert undersea operations and national taskings. He recounts intense combat situations including an attack on a safe house during Thanksgiving that resulted in casualties. Fink also shares his critical perspective on modern warfare, questioning why America engages in conflicts abroad while domestic issues remain unaddressed, and argues that weak political leaders send strong warriors to fight wars driven by financial interests rather than genuine national security needs.

Key takeaways

• Fink describes his SDV team service as involving sophisticated covert undersea operations and national taskings, work he found more active and significant than many realize, though the missions were highly classified and physically demanding
• Fink recounts a traumatic attack on a safe house during Thanksgiving where personnel were injured and killed, describing it as some of the most intense gunfire he experienced
• Fink argues that America is already in a proxy World War III and criticizes political leaders as old, weak, and financially motivated individuals sending capable warriors to wars that serve corporate interests rather than protecting freedom or American security
