California used to be a land of promise that produced fine Americans who mocked D.C. elites, says Adam Castillo, a former U.S. Marine officer. In the face of failed state and federal leadership in the Democratic Party, an ex-soldier has a message for inland communities.
The coastal cities and elites are supported by inland residents, Castillo explains. “I’m tired of being the butt of jokes for MAGA,” he says.
In an interview, Castillo revealed that after being left as an “unemployed veteran” during the Obama administration’s massive sequestration period around 2013, he found opportunity in Myanmar.
He claims promises from the Obama administration to find jobs for veterans turned into nothing more than a check-box item for hiring managers, who would say, “Hey, we interviewed a veteran,” and move on.
Castillo ran a security company during Myanmar’s 2021 coup d’état, which taught him that things can be done properly with the right leadership, even under the harshest conditions.
