it's just another extreme centrism group which is using the veterans as a cover to keep it from being too obvious


quote:

Our country has been ripped apart by hyper-partisanship. We are a country where political leaders can’t even talk to each other, compromise, or get anything done. Debilitating partisanship in Washington is near a record high, while veteran representation in Congress is near a historic low.

Americans know that extreme partisanship has corroded our national legislature. No national institution is suffering a crisis of trust more than Congress. Congress no longer tackles our country’s biggest issues, and, as a result, public confidence in Congress has plummeted over the last forty years.1

Veterans represented more than half of Congress for much of the second half of the 20th Century. Although veterans have declined in the U.S. population, the decline of veterans in Congress has been far more rapid. Today, veteran representation in Congress is near a historic low at 19%.2

it's partisan leanings of congressmen

it shows that over the years, far fewer Democrats have been willing to cross the aisle and vote with the GOP, and indicates that this correlates with a drop in the number of veterans in Congress

wasnt it so much better when congress was made up of veterans who could come together across the aisle and compromise on how much to oppress minorities?

back in the 50s it was normal to see a democratic war criminal and a republican war criminal eating together

nowadays the only place youll see war criminals is the intelligence community, the cabinet, and all over media

the two parties cant even agree on how many billions of dollars to give to the military industrial complex

Wouldn't there necessarily be less veterans in politics around these days just because the US is deploying smaller armies? (e.g. 16 million US soldiers fought in WW2 vs 1.5m in Iraq & Afghanistan.)

It’s like the rural vote: their power must be maintained even as their share of the general population shrinks.

It's better - the National Grid workers have been on strike for two months, so the company has been using scabs to do the work
