If the Democrats have a genuine national convention in 2028 -- unlike the sham AIPAC carnival in 2024 which befouled Chicago-- USAF Major Jason Watson should be a keynote speaker.

Moreover, the next non-Republican administration can pardon Major Watson and promote him as if he was a POW these past two years.

Recall that USAF Airman Aaron Bushnell set himself on fire on 25 Feb 2024 in protest of US complicity in Israel's genocide of the Palestinians.

Heroism isn't always displayed in a combat zone, as USAF Major Jason Watson has demonstrated.

"Heroism isn't always displayed in a combat zone, as USAF Major Jason Watson has demonstrated."

Many instances of this going way back... the Major is exceptionally articulate which, to me, enhances his potency...

Looking forward to at least the possibility of that... and, I suspect, and hope for, a number of epic speeches...
