Jon Runyan: “As a Nation, we call on our armed servicemembers to sacrifice bravely on our behalf.”

The men and women that we are discussing today fought on behalf of our Nation and they should receive the same benefit of the doubt that U.S. servicemembers receive when they are asking for benefits that they earned.

From where I have--where I come from and the way I was brought up, stepping up and saying you were wrong is the first step to fixing it.

Continued claims of 'misunderstanding' are simply not believable--even if they were, it would show such a level of gross incompetence that disciplinary action would be necessary.

Intimidation or retaliation, not just against whistleblowers but against any employee who raises their hand to identify a problem, is absolutely unacceptable.
