Rep. Marc Veasey, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Texas's 33rd District since 2013, shared his concerns regarding the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) on social media. Veasey has been vocal about issues surrounding national security and the politicization of military matters.
On December 11, 2024, Rep. Veasey expressed his opinion that "it’s not DEI that harms our national security. It’s the politicization of our military that does." He emphasized that "our troops deserve better than to be pawns in a political game." "Original quotation"
In another tweet posted on the same day, he stated, "The NDAA should be a place for solutions, not division." He voiced his concern over how the bill "draws political lines and targets minority members of our military," describing it as a significant issue for him. "Original quotation"
Further addressing his colleagues in Congress, Rep. Veasey urged them to "return to a bipartisan approach in the future and work together to strengthen our military, not divide it." He reiterated that "our servicemembers deserve better." "Original quotation"
