WASHINGTON DC (KOLO) – U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen is demanding a hearing on the strain the Iran war is putting on troops.
She joined her Democratic colleagues on the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee in urging Committee Chairman Wicker to hold a hearing on the matter.
“The toll this unauthorized, disastrous war is taking on our troops is unconscionable,” said the Senators. “Troops are suffering because of this Administration’s inability to end this war or make the environment safe enough for our servicemembers to be delivered the food, medication, or supplies they need.”
“Military families and the American people deserve answers about when our heroes will come home and how DoD plans to restore military readiness that has been drained by this war,” continued the Senators. “Supply shortages and unjustified extended deployments also have a real impact on our ability to recruit and retain our servicemembers – why would anyone sign up to fight when they fear they will be exploited and left without supplies, recourse or support? Not only do we owe our troops the bare minimum respect and support they deserve, but it is a recruitment and retention imperative.”
