@ChrisCillizza With all the unacceptable behaviors happening this election cycle, Kamala Harris not talking to the press after becoming the nominee only 36 days ago, shoring donor and voter support, vetting VP candidates, and planning a convention--is the least of my concerns.
@JonahDispatch@stephenfhayes@DavidAFrench 2/2 I do believe that there is a growing number who would prefer a strongman or in this case a useful idiot, who will pursue their agenda. Our democracy might not be finished, but it will be battered, perhaps almost unrecognizable. I understand why people are concerned.
@JonahDispatch@stephenfhayes@DavidAFrench While I agree with most of your points, for many this is more than an election. They believe democracy is at stake and we must put all else aside and speak with one purpose to save it. While I don't believe our democracy is quite the fragile flower some describe... 1/2
I’ve written about this before, but I guess I’ll say it again. As an Army wife I absolutely hate, hate, hate the measuring of one person’s service to their country against another’s.
Most people in the military aren’t the Navy SEALs. Military service can look so very different depending on your MOS. But every person’s service is deserving of respect. Every person’s service matters.
Where a person was deployed—South Korea, Kuwait, Northern Africa, Germany, Iraq, Japan, Afghanistan, Italy, Syria, Vietnam, the UK—it in no way diminishes a veteran’s service.
When a family is left behind, at home, we don’t miss our loved one less because of their deployment location. We want our service member home and safe all the same.
And speaking of being home—safety isn’t guaranteed on post, either. Helicopters crash in training ops on American soil with too much frequency. Many of the jobs our military perform aren’t “safe.” That’s what makes the service so extraordinary. It’s a sacrifice 365 days of the year.
Let me tell you something—a man who could have retired with his 20 years but instead re-ups a week after 9/11–that man is a patriot. Full stop.
And let me tell you something else. I don’t care if a soldier was deployed to the most comfortable post where he participated in his $2.99 Tuesday deals at the Subway for lunch and then hit up TGI Fridays for dinner—that person deserves respect too.
One of my passions is helping veterans the way I’d want someone to help my husband, his friends, the other families in our unit. And I am tired of seeing honorable veterans go homeless or without medical care or mental health support because they don’t think they deserve it. Because they didn’t do the “hard jobs” or weren’t in the “dangerous places.”
And when we engage in this bullshit about whose service is more worthy of respect we send a message to the thousands of veterans without national platforms that if they don’t measure up to some nonsense, Hollywood metric, that they are undeserving. And that’s a dangerous and toxic message to spread when veteran death by suicide is far higher than it was 20 years ago.
Every person’s service matters.
@Beyz1313@jaketapper Obviously the Biden administration and others did the heavy lifting and deserve the credit for bringing them home, but those who spoke often of Evan and Paul ensured they weren’t forgotten. It takes a village. 😉
@ChrisCillizza Belem is amazing, don't miss the pasteis de nata. If you get to Porto, be sure to have a drink, maybe a Port tonic in the Yeatman bar overlooking the old city. View to die for.
I wanted to order a new iMac in one of those nifty colors. But after an hour of trying to get basic color info, I'm giving up. Maybe Apple doesn't want to actually sell those new computers. @Apple@AppleSupport
