When I see heroes on the news, I always like to practice in my mind what I would do, so that if called upon, I would (I hope) do the right thing. Is political courage as difficult as it appears? People like Fiona Hill, Maria Yovanovitch and Alexander Vindman seemed to have been able to find it. Where is the difference between them and so many of our political leaders?

Agree...but the difference is those mentioned are not elected officials, who are constantly worried about being re-elected and needing to continue feeding at the lobbyist troughs.

And why donтАЩt journalists ever question them about the lack thereof?

That was kinda what I was yelling at the TV this morning, Then I remembered there is a reason I don't turn the TV on, on Sunday morning *sigh*
