"Does he even know that there are service members who are in harm's way right now, watching him, looking for their commander-in-chief to show leadership, rather than [trying] to deflect blame?" Duckworth said. "Or that his own Pentagon says that the short-term funding plans he seems intent on pushing is actually harmful to not just the military, but to our national security?"
"I spent my entire adult life looking out for the well-being, the training, the equipping of the troops for whom I was responsible," she continued. "Sadly, this is something that the current occupant of the Oval Office does not seem to care to do – and I will not be lectured about what our military needs by a five-deferment draft-dodger."
"And I have a message for cadet bone spurs: If you cared about our military, you'd stop baiting Kim Jong-Un into a war that could put 85,000 American troops, and millions of innocent civilians, in danger."

Women like Senator Duckworth, who does not mince words when it comes to calling Trump out over his hypocrisy, are going to help inspire the blue wave that is coming in 2018 to wash the GOP dead wood out of the House and Senate and replace it with energetic, hard working, and likely female progressives who are going to get this country back on the right track.
Personally I can hardly wait.
