Veterans flood Congress bids after Iraq war
Dozens of veterans including Air Force veteran Jay Fawcett are running for Congress amid dis content with Iraq policy. About 40 Republicans and 55 Democrats enter the race, with at least 11 Iraq and Afghanistan veterans seeking House or Senate seats, many arguing military experience lends credibility to criticize the war. Political analysts say veteran candidates complicate GOP defense messaging as public sentiment shifts against the war.
