Good idea about NOT holding your breath...
It is up to the Republican leadership to go around the media, hold press conferences, become firebrands etc. to highlight the administration’s contempt for the military.They were busy being bipartisan, enjoying their perks, getting drunk or whatever. They never mentioned this issue and were AWOL.
If the repub leadership behaves this way (AWOL) when they have an issue handed to them, why should we think things are ever going to get better?
