We may not control deployment orders or asylum policy, but we control how we support each other.

A service member cannot focus on their duty if they are worried about their family's well-being back home. Challenges in healthcare access and financial stability for military families directly impact the readiness and resilience of our entire force.

Military families are demanding answers. We deserve a clear and compelling explanation for the mission our loved ones are undertaking. After a deadly attack, sending more troops into the same situation must be justified with absolute transparency.

All deployments are directed through the proper chain of command and in accordance with applicable laws.

The strength of our military is rooted in its unwavering commitment to the rule of law and constitutional principle, not in any individual.

Our service is governed by the enduring framework of the U.S. Constitution, the U.S. Code, and the Uniform Code of Military Justice—documents that definitively establish the limits and responsibilities of all government power.

Service members are trained to understand the difference and are protected when they question the legality of a command.

No amount of political pressure justifies placing American troops in unconstitutional roles.

"threats to our Constitution... from right here at home" now carries even greater weight following this week's violence.

As military families, we see it too.
Our service members are non-political.
We demand all leaders stop using our troops as political instruments.
Their safety and rightful role must come first. #NotPawns

Happy Thanksgiving Day.
