Congressman: "Soldiers coming home deformed and limbless and even in a body bag is not acceptable"

[David__77]

In strong language, U.S. Rep. Tom Marino made his opposition to intervention in Syria abundantly clear Wednesday, pointedly questioning Secretary of State John Kerry and Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel at a House hearing.

...

"And this I cannot accept. Soldiers coming home deformed and limbless and even in a body bag is not acceptable to me," Mr. Marino said during a House Foreign Affairs Committee meeting, vowing to vote against a military strike.

Mr. Hagel reminded Mr. Marino that the resolution under consideration in Congress specifically promises that "no boots would be on the ground" in Syria.

"I've heard that before," Mr. Marino said.

It is disgusting.
