Texas congressman, former Navy SEAL, lost his right eye after being wounded by IED in Afghanistan

Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, said he underwent emergency surgery Friday for a detached retina in his left eye and will be unable to see as he recovers.

"The surgery went well, but I will be effectively blind for about a month," Crenshaw said in a Twitter statement on Saturday.

Crenshaw, a U.S. Navy SEAL veteran, lost his right eye during a deployment in Afghanistan when he was wounded by an improvised explosive device (IED) and wears a patch on that eye.

I don’t trust him either, but that eye was damaged in the direct and dangerous service of “us”. Prayers for a successful procedure are certainly warranted.

"I think that about 90% of congress are blind"

For sure, and by their own choice.

Thank you.

I looked for his statement on his own website before I posted and could not find it.

If you pasted together the images, cudos to your skills.

My brother had the same thing happen and had to stay face down for two weeks also. It turned out good for him.

Congressman Crenshaw, thank you for your service to our country, and your deep personal sacrifices.

I wish you a full and speedy recovery, followed by your immediate withdraw from politics.

I respect your service, but I still don't trust you one whit with my Second Amendment rights.
