Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) told Axios that a disadvantage of having fewer U.S. military veterans in Congress is having less checks on the Department of Defense.
Said Gallego: “It’s to the detriment to the men and women in the military. I mean, this is how you end up in 20-year wars because there were just not enough people that were willing to say to some of these generals that you see on TV all the time, you’re wrong. It’s time to leave.”
