A ration of Schiff!
It’s the sabotage we saw during Vietnam all over again.

Afamous line from Shakespeare’s play “Richard III” underscores the desire to sacrifice something of value for something trivial when the situation dictates. The line, ”My kingdom for a horse,” was frustratingly uttered by King Richard III on a battlefield after his steed had been felled beneath him. At a disadvantage fighting on foot, Richard was ultimately slain—his final words reflecting a desperate effort to surrender all he had for a horse upon which his life depended.
Ironically, today we witness a politician unwilling to do the reverse—i.e., surrender something relatively trivial when compared to achieving something of great value.
Our war with Iran has entered its second month. Despite political differences concerning the conflict, it is incumbent upon every American to support our troops at this critical time. Nothing should be done to undermine the task they courageously take on. This includes any actions that might negatively impact on their warfighting capabilities. Everything possible should be done to demonstrate total support for our warriors to ensure they are armed with the appropriate mindset empowering them to fulfill their mission.
This includes providing our forces with whatever is needed to achieve victory, such as the $200 billion supplemental to replenish U.S. military stocks. Every congressperson should be setting aside personal differences concerning the war to enable our military to do its job.
