Veterans' Group

Veterans' group detonates boycott threat against Pearl Harbor anniversary, rage fueled by Smithsonian exhibit grievances. Toby charges C.J. with the alarm in briefing-room hallway frenzy, her demands for details crashing against his evasive shrugs—'I don't know'—escalating PR maelstrom atop lawsuits and geopolitical deals. This shadowy collective wields ceremonial leverage, forcing White House scramble for meetings and optics repair, embodying veteran activism's power to fracture national tributes.
