I’m trying to understand how you took that message from this. The best I can figure, maybe the allusion to Col. Vindman’s bravery sounds a little like it’s referring to his early-career sacrifices in the Iraq war?
I think Jeff may have been referring to the circumstances of Vindman’s dismissal: namely, in retaliation for reporting up the chain (then testifying honestly) near the end of Trump’s first term when Trump held up Congressionally-apportioned aid to Ukraine (in order to extort support for his political allegations against his electoral competitor, as I recall).

…I get the impression that Jeff’s “Stay Gold” program is not especially compatible with that kind of zero-sum, might-makes-right MAGA behavior and ideology.
