"Im not done with this one. Not by a long shot. Let me say it plainly: they hate the common man. People like you and me. The media despises us. Not for what we do but for what we represent. They protect the polished perfumed bureaucrats who keep the machine humming. The ones who siphon your money and your childrens futures to people who would never bleed for this country. If someone in power plays the game keeps quiet nods along sells out truth for access they become a media darling overnight. But if youre a normal American Or a combat veteran like @PeteHegseth Youre a threat and a problem."

The warrior was replaced with a social worker in a helmet. Instead of rehearsing react to contact we sat through PowerPoints on cultural sensitivity.
