Remember that time a sitting US President was outed by a whistleblower and impeached for withholding $391 million in congressionally approved military aid to Ukraine in exchange for dirt on his political opponents. Specifically when Ukraine was ready to purchase additional Javelins for anti tank defense. Weird

Wish I’d bought a ton of defense stocks when the Russia buildup was taking place.

I’m proud of you. I would offer you one of my deployment bags and some flight suits but as a Regular officer I’m subject to recall at any time. And most of my old rank insignia I handed off to subordinates while still on active duty.
