We send our military across the world to defend America at risk of their lives.

We elect people in Congress to represent us and defend the Constitution of the U.S..

Yet, they ask us to accept them as our political leaders yet they fear to defend the nation because of the fear of the loss of their seat?

They accepted the responsibility of the their positions - they asked for it, they were not drafted into Congress. Yet, now they cry that they might be hurt? Then, this Congress has no right to ask a single soldier to risk their life in defense of the nation.

They, Congress, should step down, if fear for their lives and livelihood dictates that they no longer defend the nation. They are not fit to serve. They should face their fear and ask for other men/women to serve in their place. Being afraid in certain situations is acknowledged as a soldier in times of stress (situation awareness), yet being a coward is not. These congress people are saying that they are cowards and thus not able to do their jobs.
