"You know, the man's a five-time draft dodger. He's an elite. And, you know, I went to war. I fought with working-class kids. They're the ones that do the fighting and dying... It's not his kids. It's not his family. It's not his billionaire donors who are having to go off and do it. It's kids in towns across the country that have to pick up the guns, jump into the planes and helicopters, and get it done."
"And how amazing of Donald Trump to say, you know, That often happens in war. And that's a cost he's willing to take. Great for him! This is everything that's wrong with our national security infrastructure and our policies. Elites make decisions. They talk tough. They pound their chests, and then everybody else is left holding the bag. Enough is enough."
Rep. Jason Crow expresses strong opposition to Trump's military actions regarding Iran, arguing that Trump—a five-time draft dodger—is willing to risk American lives while insulating himself and his wealthy associates from consequences. Crow emphasizes that working-class soldiers from towns across the country bear the burden of combat, sitting in bunkers while elites make decisions from safety. He criticizes the disparity between those making military decisions and those executing them, calling it emblematic of systemic failures in national security policy. Crow advocates for congressional authorization of military action, expressing willingness to return to Washington immediately for a vote on the matter.
