Republicans are incapable of governing and continue to undermine our American military

Echo opinion letter published in The Kansas City Star:

Moran and other Republicans don’t support our military.

SILENT SENATORS..... OK, do Republican senators have respect for military members and their families? (Obviously not!😕)

Thomas Hawley Tuberville is an American politician and retired college football coach who is the senior United States senator from Alabama, born on September 18, 1959 in Arkansas. 

When I heard Donald Trump say former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff the highly regarded General Mark A. Milley should be executed for treason (❗ 😡 )because he spoke the truth about Trump’s actions and comments, I was outraged. (Oct. 1, 22A, “Trump’s attacks on Milley spur call for gag order”) My late brother was career Navy with eight years of submarine duty; my dad served in the Navy, mom in the Army, husband in the Marines, grandson is career Army, and I was in the Air Force Reserve as a flight nurse.

I am appalled by the silence of Republican senators hearing these remarks. Sen. Jerry Moran usually is a great advocate for the military, and yet not any public comments from him. Sen. Tommy Tuberville has blocked all military appointments because he doesn’t agree with its abortion policies — again, silence from Moran. Respect for our military should be non-partisan and non-political. Trump’s former chief of staff, Gen. John Kelly, revealed that Trump called our dead soldiers “losers” and did not want injured military members at his rallies because “it didn’t look good for him.”

Again, silence from our senators. Good grief! What will it take to have the courage to speak out against Trump? Silence is compliance. From Sue Thompson, in Mission (in Missouri)
