A tweet showing three wounded combat veterans in Congress is going viral. The Daily Wire reports:
The sacrifice of the brave souls who serve in the United States military was underscored on Thursday by a tweet from returning Republican lawmaker and combat veteran Brian Mast.
Welcoming fellow combat veterans Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) and Jim Baird (R-IN) to the House floor, the Florida rep. posted an image of the three men to Twitter with the caption, “5 eyes. 5 arms. 4 legs. All American.”
War injuries from the brave men’s stints serving our nation include one lost eye, one lost arm, and two lost legs.
5 eyes. 5 arms. 4 legs. All American.

Mast, who’s representing the 18th Congressional District of his state, served in the U.S. Army for 12-plus years. Mast loss both his legs while he was deployed in Afghanistan in 2010 acting as a bomb disposal expert. “The last improvised explosive device that he found resulted in catastrophic injuries, which included the loss of both of his legs,” according to his website.
These veterans in Congress are showing that they can continue serving America even after their military service.
Maybe any person running for ANY government position MUST serve two years in the military AND take an IQ test. The IQ must be at least double digits. After the Democrats displayed what little intelligence they have it is sorely needed.
It should be mandatory to take an oath of allegiance to America before anyone runs for a government office. Why should an American waste their vote on someone who holds allegiance to another country?
God bless them for their sacrifices! THEY are what being an American is all about! The majority of Congress wouldn’t know what a REAL American is. Plus very few of them could survive one day in combat. So, if you want to take away MY freedoms, molon labe!! We will die fighting for this country before we give it up to Moslems, or progressive communists! Nancy Pelosi doesn’t realize, or understand, that, she’s bit off more than she can chew. Go ahead & try to impeach the President. Civil War will take care of you, & your other leftist sidekicks! God bless America, & God bless our military. If you’re not FOR us, you’re AGAINST us. And that means all you RINOs too. We don’t have time, nor do we NEED you! Lock & load, people, it’s coming! MAGA!!
I thank them for their service and wish them all the best !
