Happy Halloween from four-year-old me.
Yeah, I always knew.
I wanted to be Wonder Woman — strong, kind, and brave enough to fight for truth, justice, and the American way.
Back then, I thought it was a costume.
But it’s who I am, and who I aspire to be.
Well… maybe with fewer stars on my shorts.

My last military crew was S5R; said properly, S5Arrgh! We were the pirates. We even planned a pirate-themed party this spring, and I had my costume ready to board ship. But before the revelry began, the government made me walk the plank. I didn't get to share another round of laughter with the crew.

If they are forced out, it is not only they who will suffer. Far more of us than we can imagine will end up in trauma; we just do not know when it will strike.

If I had a dollar to wager on today’s Quantico spectacle, I’d put it on theater over substance. But the house always wins in times of chaos. Instead of betting, let's restore the rules of the game, reshuffle power back to the people, and ensure democracy, not a rigged table, decides our future.
