Unidentified Military Advisor (Oval Office briefing)

A senior military advisor who speaks from the chain-of-command perspective during the Oval Office crisis over the Idaho standoff. He frames militias as an intrinsic national-security danger, emphasizes their weaponry and multi-year supplies, and presses for immediate, coercive measures to end the occupation. He functions as the hawkish, operational voice among White House briefers, arguing that force preserves federal authority and forestalls escalation. His interventions shape the tactical vs. political debate and test civilian leadership's appetite for restraint.
