(12,092 posts)just a bunch of chickenhawks who ultimately don't give a good god damn about our Military or our country.
Did I mention that I fucking hate chickenhawks?
Include that POS coward, Josh Hawley, who said he will vote no on NATO membership for Sweden and Finland.

(3,557 posts)Combat is by far the worst experience Ive ever dealt with on my life. I wont disparage anybody for avoiding service in a war in an effort to avoid combat. However, avoiding service then adopting a pro-war stance when your skin isnt on the line is among the lowest thing a person could do - on par with pedophilia and the exploitation of disadvantaged peoples.
Republicans who shunned military service, then advocated for military actions while they were too chicken to put their lives on the line, then refused to take care of those who had served is inexcusable.
Leave it to republicans to let us down. Im not surprised.

(1,886 posts)Romney and Toomey are very disappointing.
Rand is Rand. Useless. Same with Lee.
Tommy Tubervilles talent was patrolling the sidelines on Saturdays.
Lankford - I cant take anyone seriously if they think 13-year-olds can consent to sex.
