🔥🔥GEN (Ret.) Mark Milley KNOCKS IT OUT OF THE PARK by saying what everyone who's ever served should be saying right now:
"We don't take an oath to a king or queen or tyrant...We don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator. We take an oath to the Constitution!"
In the military, you train to handle and store firearms. You must re-qualify every year to prove competency. We aren’t safer or freer as a society when there’s easy access to guns, especially for people with little training. We must put an end to mass shootings, not enable them.
Can’t believe we even have to say this, but: if you just went to the Senate floor and blocked benefits for veterans exposed to toxic burn pits while serving our country in a war zone, you are wrong.
“If this is America First, then America is fucked.”
Take 10 minutes to watch Jon Stewart tear into Republicans for blocking a Senate bill providing benefits to veterans, including for those exposed to burn pits.
@senrobportman @SecBlinken @senrobportman why did you vote no for the Honoring our PACT act? Veteran constituent asking…I’m sure this will go ignored along with official inquiries we’ve sent your office. Represent us. Not your party.
Veterans should be getting the care they need and deserve from being exposed to burn pits while serving, but leave it to a Republican to keep vets waiting. It's remarkable, for how much the GOP says they love vets, they barely ever show it. We need the PACT Act NOW, @SenToomey!
