And it’s upending the lives of far too many American military families. Our troops deserve better. Our military families deserve better. Our allies and partners deserve better. And our national security deserves better.”

Make an argument. Build consensus. Cast a vote. But don’t use military members for leverage in a political fight. That’s NOT right.”
