The number of veterans in Congress will drop to lowest level since at least WWII

Thank you my friend MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D. for making us aware that the number of veterans in the United States Congress is dropping to the lowest level since before WWII.

For now, 91 veterans are set to be sworn in as members of the 117th Congress in January, a decrease of five from the start of the 116th Congress in 2019. Of the group, 74 will serve in the House, and 17 in the Senate.
More than two-thirds of the veterans set to serve are Republicans. There are 16 newcomers: two senators (Arizona Democrat Mark Kelly and Kansas Republican Roger Marshall) and 14 House members (12 of whom are Republicans).
But those additions didn’t fully replace the number of lawmakers who retired in recent years or failed to win reelection.
IMHO with 91 especially 2/3 being Republicans is a healthy number for the incoming Congress.

MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D. So many qualified. Need to reach out.

When you have people Casio-Cortez, and Ilhan Omar I find it very sad that Veterans are losing ground in the ranks of Congress, and the Senate but you can all blame this on the Alphabet Soup Gang and their liberal news casting.
