## Key Takeaways

- Vets shifting from battlefield to Capitol Hill redefines accountability as a non-negotiable baseline, not a party line flourish.
- Accountability framing weaponizes exit polls—corruption tops concerns, reframing impeachment as a governance duty, not revenge.
- The ‘blue wave’ becomes a demand economy: turnout buys structural change, not just symbolic victory.
- Impeachment rhetoric meets veteran pragmatism: ethic of service drives vigilance beyond partisan theater.
- Veterans as political entrepreneurs blur lines between moral authority and policy leverage, insisting on durable reform, not slogans.
