Soldiers and Sailors

vulnerable dutiful professional

Soldiers and sailors embody the human stakes in White House debates over military intervention. C.J. humanizes them at Club Iota as 'somebody's kids' alongside their professional roles, pressing Toby on the moral imperative to combat tyranny. This framing elevates abstract policy to personal risk, foreshadowing presidential decisions on troop deployments and their political fallout. They represent deployable U.S. forces whose lives demand non-ideological justification amid staff tensions.
