Correct, though there is always the risk of being made an example

Everyone signs a contract for a certain period of time. If you quit before that time is up, that is called “desertion” (UCMJ Article 85, 10 USC § 885) and can result in up to five years in prison (or “in a time of war” … more severe sentences).

Interrogative, Senator: do you think there is somebody else, hidden away somewhere, who will defend the Constitution, separation of powers, limitations on a reckless executive, and the laws that *your branch of government* wrote?

Because there is nobody else. There is just you.

those “approval wickets” are the foundation of the constitutional order, so I have a bit more than a tinge of contrition at the WH & DoD taking a jackhammer to it

Sure would be a good time to have not laid off your entire Middle East bureau.

at least you’ve learned a valuable lesson about having a pro-return-to-office take in public

Well. Whoever is running the *FAA* is minimally competent at least.

the TFR this time is 50 miles southeast of El Paso so the airport wasn’t closed but yes DoD and DHS can’t stop shooting each other in the dick with that fucking laser

Could I get a “for every hour under 24 you get ___ more” or a multiplier or something? Bc I could probably do this in ~12 maybe less

I think someone might have the stomach for it when the alternative is [TOS violation]

well the first one (DA Sims) was because he was “too closely associated” with Mark Milley; no idea what this one is about
