"...do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic..."
"For the good of the Air Force, for the good of the armed services and for the good of our country, I urge you to reject convention and careerism..." - Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, Maxwell AFB, April 21, 2008 "You will need to challenge conventional wisdom and call things like you see them to subordinates and superiors alike." - Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, United States Air Force Academy, March 4, 2011
There are very few people I look up to. Edward Snowden is one of them. His courage is perhaps the most remarkable that I am aware of from my lifetime, with perhaps the exception of the most heroic on the battlefield, and his service and impact for liberty is most certainly at the top of that same scale.
Michael Moore move over. Another fat guy is taking your place. This first documentary production from PYB is worth the watch. Simply watch the first six minutes and you'll have a good idea whether or not it's worth your time.
Part I just covers the basics of Brandon Bryant's story and then becomes more interesting in the latter half as we see his claims of being jobless, homeless, and physically and mentally disabled while then doing a literal back flip for the camera.
Part II is the heavy lifting and sets the stage for the final part, as it takes a look at accountability and Brandon's commentary on "persecution."
Part III is the dessert. It is without a doubt, truly fascinating, as it peers into the mind of Brandon Bryant.
My name is Rick Rynearson. I was an Air Force command pilot & field grade officer and am now retired. I grew up an Air Force dependent (my father retired a CMSgt). I have eight deployments to OEF/OIF as a close air support attack pilot, more than one thousand combat flight hours, seven Air Medals and a Distinguished Flying Cross for valor. At 15 years into my career I resigned my commission & refused an order to assassinate an American citizen without charge or trial -- an order issued by the Obama/Biden administration; my resignation was not accepted & I was ultimately vindicated by the Air Force. I have a B.A. in religion from the Florida State University. My wife is a Harvard educated former Air Force intelligence officer turned civilian lawyer, former clerk for a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, and Air Force Reserve JAG.
