Lawmakers’ War Experiences Color Views of Iran Action
Since President Donald Trump first announced strikes on Iran on Saturday, members of Congress who served in Iraq and Afghanistan have had cause to remember their tours of duty in the Middle East and the personal and policy lessons learned from those conflicts. Following the September 11, 2001, attacks by al-Qaeda, a generation of young Americans joined the military and prepared themselves to make the ultimate sacrifice in service of its people. Today, a significant number of those who served abroad in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan now serve in Congress. Many of these lawmakers came face-to-face with terrorist proxies Iran chose to aid, even losing comrades at their hands. The issue is personal for them, and their experiences in the military influence how they view military actions against the Islamic Republic. Although they served as brothers and sisters in arms, they apply what they learned to current foreign policy debates in different ways, and the extent to which they support President Donald Trump's military actions against Iran depends largely on party affiliation. Sen. Ruben Gallego of Arizona is a Democrat who served in the Iraq War, where his company in the Marine Corps lost 22 members. He has recounted how he returned home with PTSD, a condition that led to his drinking and smoking to excess and affected his marriage, which later ended in divorce. “I found myself in 2005 in a war that was illegal to begin with,” he told The Dispatch. “We weren't properly manned in terms of the personnel that we needed to actually control the western part of Iraq. We didn't have the military equipment that we needed, such as armored vehicles. And we didn't have the intel support for us to figure out how to contain the insurgency that we were dealing with.” Like what you're reading?
