    Senator Duckworth: Military Unity Above Politics

    Senator Tammy Duckworth, a veteran of the Iraq War, recently appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to discuss the importance of the US military remaining apolitical. "Because when you go into combat," she stated, "you don't need to worry about whether your buddy is going to cover your back." She recalled her experience in a helicopter that was shot down in Iraq, noting that there were Trump voters among her fellow soldiers, yet their political differences never affected their mutual support. Duckworth emphasized that the military's allegiance is to "protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic." She contrasted this with actions that could undermine military unity, arguing that such actions are "shameful." The interview highlights the importance of maintaining the apolitical nature of the military.
