Sgt. 1st Class Kristoffer Domeij made the ultimate sacrifice on Oct. 22 2011 when he was killed on his 14th combat deployment. As one of the first Joint Terminal Attack Controllers in the Ranger Regiment, he left a big mark on the unit and its future.

Yes, and it has to start with agency leaders. Merrick Garland, Lloyd Austin, Samantha Power, etc. have failed to demand accountability. Time for new leadership.
Actually, even major legislative reform—although necessary—is not enough w/o accountability.

Much like the military-industrial complex described by President Eisenhower, the aid-industrial complex is a massive conglomeration of public and private institutions that excels at promoting the growth of their industry.
This day in history, 10 April 1975, President Gerald Ford asks Congress to send emergency aid to save its beleaguered South Vietnamese allies from North Vietnamese aggression. "I ask that the Congress help to keep America's word good throughout the world."

After allowing a shooter to hit the President from 130 yards, Secret Service insists "amateurs" can't question them. They needs to be reminded that they work for the American people.

This is the problem that my Secret Sources have cited: Secret Services resources were diverted to Jill Biden's event and away from Trump's because they followed agency protocol applying to Trump as a former president, according to two sources within the Secret Service community.
“Stopping corruption requires leaders whose moral convictions make them impervious to the blandishments and bribes of the corrupt, and who are willing to hold others accountable for their misdeeds.”

👀 Former FBI agent Peter Strzok’s attorneys say he’s getting $1.2 million from a settlement with DOJ over the release of his private text messages. Additional claims about his removal from the FBI remain pending.
