D.C. vets deserve the same voice as veterans from any state—this bill could be the overdue handshake from Washington.

If we open the door to D.C. statehood now, what’s next? Using veterans as a Trojan horse for political games.

Respect veterans, sure—but statehood for D.C.? That’s a power grab dressed as patriotism.

If D.C. vets fought for this country, they deserve a vote—not second-class citizenship.

Turning D.C. into a state sounds more like packing Congress than honoring veterans—let's not weaponize their sacrifice.

D.C. statehood isn't just overdue, it's a democracy emergency. Veterans stood up; now Congress needs to stand up too.

This isn't about red or blue, it's about tying democracy's loose ends—D.C. veterans shouldn't be the forgotten fighters.

No taxation, no representation? D.C. vets have paid their dues in blood and ballots. Let's fix this injustice now.

Giving D.C. full representation seems fair—veterans fought for rights, maybe it's time we honor that with action.
