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.

He went to the VA for the surgery. With the congressional triple platinum Rolls Royce health plan he went to the VA. Puts his money where his mouth is, doesn’t he?

He’ll still be blind even after his eye recovers. He’s a 1 eyed Rooster Cogburn-McCain. No true grit, just true sh....firgutpre it out.

I’ll pray for his speedy and healthy recovery.
But now he is about as visionary as anybody else in Congress.

Why do you even post here? You’re basically a Democrat. Your hateful attitude and total lack of compassion for a good man is basically emblematic of what they stand for. Go ahead.... give them a shot. I’m sure you’ll find some friends there.
To: Texas Fossil
I don’t have much use for the guy politically but I pray he does not lose his eyesight. He’s a veteran and he deserves respect.

I don’t think Crenshaw has committed treason or close to it. I just think he’s an establishment RINO.

“I don’t think Crenshaw has committed treason or close to it. I just think he’s an establishment RINO.”
Not a statement about Crenshaw, but the eGOP is treasonous. they let the election be stolen and aiding it being stolen.

I’ve had a fully detached retina in each eye. Happened 5 years apart. I do extensive data analysis for a health plan. The first one required face down recovery for 1 entire week. The recovery for the second ( left eye) was easier.
Prayers going up for this American hero.
To: CodeToad
I’m not defending Crenshaw as a politician but geesus! Who wants a combat vet to lose his other eye? Not me.
