We need a high profile veteran to call us to service, assign us our task and let's see if we fall in line. This marketing the tough guy crap to,the military via republicans logos has to end.

A former candidate for congress in WV3 who lost by 12% to Carol Miller. Rather important in the teacher's strike in West Virginia, having been one prior to the state senate. I could go on and on; you get the point.

He voted for Trump in 2016 and admitted his mistake. In WV, that is tantamount to heresy.

We need more of that. More veterans to step up and denounce the asshole that sits in OUR White House and all the GOP congressmen who "don't have the balls" to speak out and do something about this.

And no, just quitting your seat in Congress isn't enough. That's the coward's way out.

This is going to my rep who is one of those GOP cowards that decided to quit because he "doesn't like the climate in DC".
