While the sources consulted by the Center for this analysis aren’t always specific about when or where members served, it’s clear that most of the veterans in the new Congress are from the post-Vietnam era.
(The first Vietnam War combat veteran elected to Congress, John Murtha of Pennsylvania, won his seat in 1974.)
Between 19, at least 70% of members in each chamber had military experience, reflecting the mass mobilizations of World War II and the Korean War. The next House will still have one of the smallest shares of veteran members in modern times. The number of senators who are veterans, 17, will stay the same.Īlthough 191 veterans won their parties’ nominations for House seats in 2022, only 80 of them won in the general election – and 62 of the victors were incumbents. That’s up from 75, or 17.2%, in the outgoing Congress. House of Representatives will have 80 members who’ve served in the military at some level, or 18.4% of the total membership, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of this fall’s election results. If you’re looking for a story stuffed full of substance, with sex and space battles and betrayals, Record of a Spaceborn Few really isn’t the book for you, but if the idea of a near silent and not at all violent novel about decent people in relatively difficult situations trying to do what’s right for them right then appeals-in other words, if you’ve enjoyed the Wayfarers series in the past-then Becky Chambers’ latest may well be the purest distillation of her characteristically smooth science fiction to date.The incoming U.S. Instead, it acts as a rallying cry that motivates Chambers’ credible and compassionately-crafted cast of characters to take full account of their respective futures. What happens to Sawyer happens, but its principal purpose isn’t to excite or even to intrigue. To be sure, a few things do in Record of a Spaceborn Few-there’s a tragic mishap at the outset, and an equally disastrous accident as the text progresses-but the third of Chambers’ loosely-connected Wayfarers works is only interested in events insofar as these events affect the five folks that are the focus of this practically pacific work of fiction. Indeed, it’s never been clearer than it is here that this is a series about people-people as opposed to the things that happen to them, assuming anything happens to them at all. regrettably, isn’t going to win over anyone who’s been underwhelmed by these books before.
the most hectic episode of the Wayfarers series so far.
