I don’t understand why some former military officers become squishy once they are in congress.

Cause rising up the ranks in the 21st. Century military requires you to be a scheming political kiss-a*s.

Real blood-and-guts types never make it past Captain and are exiled to some remote outpost.

I know all that. Colonels and Navy Captains want their first star. But most in congress who go squishy are lower in field grade.

And there are no retired Captains or Colonels in congress.

I stand corrected: Lindsey Graham is or was a reserve JAG Colonel.
