Summary

In today's episode of The Wright Report, Bryan Dean Wright unravels three significant briefs shaping the world. First, he sheds light on a new study that contradicts the common perception about US military veterans being extremists. Then, we'll journey to the Indian Ocean, focusing on the strategic island of Diego Garcia and its changing role for the US military. Our third stop is Europe, where some countries are reneging on their promise to rebuild their militaries, expecting the US to foot the bill. We wrap up with a narrative of regret from Oregon, where voters are second-guessing their decision to decriminalize hard drugs.
