Service itself, not any sweeping agenda, was the aim of this class of officeholders. And accommodations on issues were often made (and as often regretted) in order to win or stay in office.
Born before the baby boom generation, these lawmakers were forged by the Great Depression, World War II and a Cold War consensus politics underpinned by the idea that there were far greater threats than the opposing party. They also came of age at a time when military service was common; wartime bonds and shared cultural touchstones often trumped partisan differences; and zeal was not required for elected office.

Mueller’s death reminded me of an ethos I tried to capture in 2018, after McCain and Bush 41 passed - the Duty Honor Country party

@AdamKinzinger Gary Peters from Michigan is a great member of the senate. Too bad he is retiring this year.

I’ll take “things that 100 percent never happened” for 1000 Alex.
I know of not a single member of congress who has ever done a top secret mission o official business.
And I was on energy and commerce. NEVER HAPPENED

@FBGreatMoments Can’t believe they pulled him from the game 4 yards short of 300.

This is utter and complete garbage. The House does not have secret missions or the authority to classify things. This guy is completely making this up.

lol… not an ideal moment for Markwayne Mullin here as Senators question him about his “super secret mission”

Mullin is claiming that, as a Congressman, he went on a classified trip in 2016 that required him to go through “specialized training” and SERE (survival, evasion, resistance, escape) school prior to leaving.
Classified trips happen, but the SERE claim is utter bullshit.

MARKWAYNE MULLIN: That was an official trip that was classified PETERS: Where was that trip? MULLIN: I just said it's classified, sir PETERS: So where did you 'smell war'? MULLIN: I just said -- it's classified
