As many of you know, I don’t get too terribly involved in political discussions because as an active duty soldier I consider politics to be out of my lane, and I always stay in my lane, makes for good soldiering. However, when I read that some are encouraging United States Senators to shirk from their duties by not showing up for the vote on Supreme Court Associate Justice Nominee Alito, spending the day visiting your wounded warriors at Walter Reed Army Medical Center instead, I was appalled.
It is unconsionable that some would use America’s heroes to push their agenda in disagreement with the nomination. I’m confident that our fine upstanding Senators in Washington won’t answer such a tasteless call, and will stand fast in the trenches performing the duties they have been duly elected to perform, regardless the outcome of the vote. Still, I’ve a horrid taste in my mouth from those who would even consider treating your Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, Airmen, and Coast Guardsmen in such a manner. Appalled. Sgt Hook out.
