An Open Letter

To: Sen. Schmitt, Sen. Hawley

From: A constituent in Plattsburg, MO

May 8

Well, it appears the COURTS have again smacked down your SECDEF. Appears Hegseth cannot handle combat veterans saying that service members can and must refuse ILLEGAL orders. Nothing more. You will not silence veterans. There are 2 combat veterans in this family – young men who have served 5 combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. So until you have a child serving in combat – you have no idea how it feels to sacrifice for this country. You seem to have no idea why people serve and what that means – you only serve yourself and this despicable president who attacks the military and calls us ‘suckers and losers’. This weekend news host who cosplays as a military leader – that you supported – has no idea what leadership is and apparently needed the courts to remind him that the military should not follow illegal orders! Shame on you for NOT supporting our military and speaking up to support YOUR colleagues. You are a gutless disgrace. We have also NOT forgotten that you have killed nearly 200 civilians in small boats, calling them narco terrorists. It’s MURDER – we have NOT forgotten. If they were terrorists, we’d be capturing them for intelligence.
