In this rip with Preston Pysh the fearless cadet we speak about his lessons from West Point Academy and how FinCEN may be violating your rights.

"The one thing I did learn at West Point was never ever accept defeat. Never ever allow your environment to dictate that you're going to fail. Don't be a victim of your environment. Harness your environment. Win!"
