The U.S. military is supported by the American public in part because it represents all Americans. It is above many issues that divide us -- party politics, religion, etc. It is comprised of Americans of all kinds. It is America. 1/3 www.military.com/hegseth-quan...

This article from @militarytimes.bsky.social shows provides an interesting assessment of the National Guard's D.C. deployment. We continue to believe that the U.S. military should be used for its intended purpose and not for politicized deployments. www.militarytimes.com/news/your-mi...

Thousands of soldiers now roam Washington’s streets. They seldom stop crime.
Statistics show that National Guard troops deployed to D.C. have been mentioned in 1.3% of criminal cases, with dozens of cases listing them as victims.

The National Guard should be deployed on necessary missions. We've been saying that deploying the National Guard when it's not necessary or for political reasons risks the moral of the National Guard itself. @npr.org's latest report confirms this. www.npr.org/2026/08/24/n...

Spending $1.4 billion on a deployment that shouldn't be is not spending taxpayer money wisely or is it serving the military well. The National Guard should not be policing the streets of America's cities. That is not their purpose. Let's send them home. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Women make up 21% of the active-duty Navy, but account for only about 7% of active-duty admirals. Yet this year, for the first time in over a decade, no female active-duty naval officers are likely to be promoted to admiral. Neither gender nor race should impact promotions.
