The novel makes it clear you don’t have to be in the military; you can do your time in the Space Peace Corp or Space Civilian Conservation Corps.

I kinda got the feeling that doing that was actually volunteering for the Space Tuskegee Experiments, or work on the Space Panama Canal.

Its been a while since I last read it, I don't remember specifics.

This is what makes me think it's Pence, or at least someone close to him. Pence might be the cousin of the Antichrist, but at least he has two brain cells to rub together. He knows Trump is sinking fast, and unless he starts making plans now, the GOP is going down with him.

That's why he had the article written. He's setting up the GOP so that the party leadership can take two steps aside and distance themselves just enough from Trump so when the poo poo hits the fan, they won't get sprayed.

Fearing for his job in that he fears congress will impeach him, that's an angle I hadn't thought of until now.

IIRC all evidence indicates he knew about the stuff that Flynn did that was illegal. He's tried to publicly play it like he was the one betrayed, and then afterwards kept his head down as much as possible, but there is every likelihood a thorough investigation that a actually holds everyone in the administration accountable for actual crimes scoops up pence too.

Edit: Not that any realistic Congress will actually do that. They're gonna want to pretend this was just a temporary insanity and now everything can go back to the way it was before.
