Several Republicans broke from their party to back the resolution, but it has yet to undergo a final vote, and it\u2019s likely to be defeated in the GOP-controlled U.S. House of Representatives.<\/p>\n<p>Almost every Democrat in the upper chamber, including Arizona\u2019s Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego, who are both veterans and have been vocally opposed to the war, voted in favor of moving the resolution forward. Pennsylvania\u2019s John Fetterman voted against doing so.<\/p>\n<p>More than a dozen former and current military members in Arizona called on GOP lawmakers to support the bid to end the war, and lamented the deaths that have already occurred. Since the war\u2019s beginning in February, 13 American service members have died. Ricardo Reyes, a Marine Corps veteran and the executive director of Vets Forward, a progressive veterans advocacy group, denounced any effort to dismiss those deaths as inevitable and said elected officials should think twice about the potential human toll before agreeing to continue the war.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, we say to every elected leader in this country: Do not dare treat these lives like the price of doing business,\u201d Reyes said. \u201cDon\u2019t dare ask more families to pay that cost without any answers. Don\u2019t you dare send more sons and daughters into harm\u2019s way because it\u2019s easier to escalate rather than to lead with courage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Derek Duba, an Army veteran and top staffer for Gallego, added that wars also affect the families and communities of military members and often harm their lives for years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe truth is, in war, there are no unwounded soldiers,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd the friends, families, and communities we return to, dead or alive, continue carrying the cost of it for generations to come. There is no \u2018four to six week\u2019 victory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Over the past three months, Trump has offered conflicting and vague estimates on how long the war would last, claiming multiple times in March that it would end after just a few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, Trump said that he was \u201cin no hurry\u201d to make a deal that could end the conflict. Last week, the president said he wasn\u2019t concerned about the economic toll the war he launched was having on Americans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think about Americans\u2019 financial situations. I don\u2019t think about anybody. I think about one thing: We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon,\u201d Trump told reporters.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/propertyrelocationusa.com\/?p=330\">GOP leaders \u2018over\u2019 Trump as his disrespect of Congress reaches the limit: analyst<\/a><\/p>\n<p>State Rep. Aaron Marquez, D-Phoenix, a veteran who was deployed twice to Afghanistan and still serves in the Army Reserve, said that he\u2019s hopeful more Republicans will buck their party to advance the resolution. He added that military conflict should be the last resort, but Trump jumped prematurely into the war at Israel\u2019s prompting without seeking alternative solutions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGoing to war must be exhausting all diplomatic options,\u201d he said. \u201cWe clearly did not exhaust all diplomatic options.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Marquez added that a failure to rein in the Trump administration will be noticed by voters.<\/p>\n<p>The war has been widely unpopular. In a recent New York Times poll, 64% of people said they believed Trump made the wrong decision when he launched a military campaign against Iran. But that same survey found that respondents who identified as Republican overwhelmingly supported that decision.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s been reflected in at least one primary race. Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie, who vocally criticized the Iran War, lost his party\u2019s nomination to a Trump-endorsed opponent. Massie also led the charge to force the release of the Epstein files, over Trump\u2019s objection. Trump and convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein were close in the 1990s, and he is mentioned more than 38,000 times in the files that have been released so far.<\/p>\n<p>To memorialize the 13 Americans who have been killed so far in the Iran War, the group paused to observe a moment of silence, and then each member took turns reading their names, their military rank, and a short biography.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas Solnit, a Marine Corps veteran, read the name of 42-year-old Noah L. Tietjens, who served as a vehicle mechanic. Tietjens was killed along with five others in a strike in Kuwait and left behind a wife and a teenage son.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday we honor his life and his years of commitment,\u201d Solnit said. \u201cWe hold his family in our hearts, and we say his name because he deserves to be remembered with dignity, not lost in the noise of war: Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Arizona Mirror is part of States Newsroom, a nonprofit news network supported by grants and a coalition of donors as a 501c(3) public charity.
