MY SAY: AMERICA THE DIVERSE
The newly sworn-in 113th Congress is the most diverse group of representatives in history. 98 women, 43 African-Americans, 31 Latinos, 12 Asian-American and Pacific Islanders, and seven gay and bisexual members are now new members of the House and Senate.
Unfortunately, the number of combat veterans in congress continues to decline in spite of a bump from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. That is too bad since major decisions on defense spending and policies will be made by people with no experience in the military.
