Five eyes, five arms, four legs. As one veteran pointed out, that adds up to three NEW all-American lawmakers.

To celebrate the newly sworn-in 116th Congress, Rep. Brian Mast, R-Fla., posted a picture on Twitter with freshman Republican colleagues Reps. Jim Baird, R-Ind., and Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas. All three have been wounded in combat. 

 

According to data from Army Times, there are 96 House and Senate members with military service under their belt, a far cry from post-draft-war eras such as World War II and Vietnam. Fewer than 40 sitting lawmakers served in Iraq or Afghanistan.

New members of Congress were sworn in Thursday following November’s midterm elections.
