GOP lawmaker who lost both legs in Afghanistan throws down challenge to Dems over Soleimani's killing — and leaves them in silence - TheBlaze:

Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fla.) — who lost both legs and one finger after stepping on an IED during a mission in Afghanistan for Operation Enduring Freedom — made a powerful statement Tuesday to explain why Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani's killing was justified.
During a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing, Mast demonstrated why Democratic criticism of Soleimani's killing, which occurred from a U.S. airstrike on Jan. 3, is unfounded — resulting in nearly two minutes of dead silence.
