Adam DeRito has worn many uniforms in service to others. He has served as an Army Reserve officer, an intelligence analyst deployed to the Middle East, a firefighter and first responder, an oil and gas professional working to protect America's energy security, a Colorado farmer who understands the struggles facing rural families, and a substitute Catholic school teacher dedicated to forming the next generation of young Americans.

Every chapter of Adam's life has been shaped by responsibility and fortified by resilience. Colorado's 8th District is facing real challenges. Energy uncertainty, pressure on local farms, rising costs, overloaded roads, veterans who cannot access care, and a political class that has forgotten who they work for. Adam is stepping forward to restore accountability, revive our local economy, support our agricultural communities, defend our energy workers, and stand firmly with the families who call District 8 home.

With an introduction from Aaron Love, one of America's most respected Pararescuemen, this campaign launch is a call to action for all who believe in service, truth, and courage. Together we can save Colorado's 8th District and build a future worthy of the people who live here.

This is the second half of the interview from Chapter Twenty, and the Season 2 Finale for Dark Sabre, we are talking about the failure of the CATCH Program which resulted in a Cadet Suicide at the United States Air Force Academy.

The episode gets heavy as there are discussions about the serial rapists being admitted to the Academy, Cadet Suicides, the type of people being recruited to the Academies, and we also discuss Division 1 Sports. We dive into the broken Mental Health Program at USAFA where this survivor and her rapist were assigned THE SAME mental health doctor! Part of this discussion is also about solutions on how to resolve these issues at the Federal Service Academies; and the solutions are very simple. Potential solutions? Make retaliation for mental health and sexual assault reporting illegal; move all sports to Division 3, and charge multiple leaders at the Air Force Academy under RICO.

Air Force OSI and the Office of the JAG are also discussed in this episode, and their levels of incompetence at the Air Force Academy, and how their investigative processes need to change at the Air Force Academy in order to ensure that survivors are getting justice. Justice delayed is justice denied. The process of unrestricted reporting in the military was and is designed to fail to give a false sense of security in the U.S. military; nevermind our Federal Service Academies.

The Association of Graduates is using its money and power at USAFA and the Graduate Community to ensure victims do not get justice.

The Air Force Academy is only used to speak over victims, not to speak for them.

Have the Courage to Command.
