TC, this piece resonates on many levels—both as a call to vigilance and as a testament to the power of collective action. As someone who served alongside you in the Air Force, I share the deep sense of betrayal when promises made to those who sacrificed were treated as negotiable. You’ve captured not just the outrage but also the strategic resolve it took to fight back.
The image of veterans coming together under the banner of ‘Keep Your Promise’ is powerful. It wasn’t just about protecting what was earned, it was about defending a principle that transcends individual benefits—a principle of trust and fairness that underpins the very ethos of service. Your framing of politics as the sum of marginal gains is brilliant…a reminder that change often comes incrementally, and every effort—however small it may feel—matters in the larger battle.
You reminded us all of the importance of staying alert, engaged and unified. In a time when moral clarity often feels blurred by convenience or dishonesty, this story is both a warning and an inspiration. Thank you for sharing it, for your persistent advocacy and for continuing to lead by example.
In one more small comment, the link did not work for me. I did, however, find the interview on youtube. You did a great job in that 3 minute exchange.
