John:
Pete Hegseth decided he's going to censure me and is threatening to demote
me and reduce my pension.
I got shot at in service to this country. I missed holidays and birthdays.
I commanded a space shuttle mission and launched to the International
Space Station while my wife recovered from a gunshot wound to the head.
My rank and retirement are things that I earned through my service and
sacrifice for this country. Generations of servicemembers have done the
same. Pete Hegseth wants to send a message to every single one that he
will come after them if they say something he doesn’t like.
You swear an oath to the Constitution when you join the military —
including the First Amendment right to free speech. We swore to defend the
foundational principles of this country. I took that oath seriously 40
years ago, and I still do.
Pete Hegseth can threaten to reduce my rank and my pension. But I am not
going to let him intimidate me, or anyone else. He is not going to stop me
from defending our democracy from a president who is hellbent on
destroying it.
If they think this is going to shut me up, they’ve got another
thing coming.
