An Open Letter

To: Sen. Moody, Rep. Bean, Sen. Scott

From: A verified voter in Jacksonville, FL

May 9

Hegseth’s argument is wrong. I oppose his POV and hope you do so as well. Pete Hegseth, the secretary of defense, argued that military retirees were subject to freedom of speech restrictions because of their connection to the military, and that if they didn’t like those restrictions, retirees could forfeit their pension and benefits. Let that sink in. The Trump administration expects the people who have put their lives on the line for America to cede one of their basic rights, or forfeit the retirement pay and benefits they have earned over decades of service.
