While I appreciate that Biden is recognizing the acts of Republicans, there is something a little bit off about soldiers dressed in civilian clothing committing acts of sabotage behind enemy lines.

Captain Nathan Hale has entered the chat. Even a failed intelligence gathering mission was used as a massively successful strategic psyop by General Washington.
