Move America Forward, the nation’s largest pro-military grassroots organization issued this statement today, in response to the announcement that Senator Barbara Boxer is leading the formation of a Senate Military Family Caucus:

Move America Forward condemns Senator Boxer for claiming to support military families when she has been anything but a friend to our troops throughout her career. Few members of congress have been as insulting and demeaning to high ranking military officers as Senator Boxer. Still fewer members of congress have the audacity to say a life of dedicated military service is comparable to that of a career in congress. By associating herself with the Military Family Caucus, Senator Boxer is attempting to confuse and deceive the American public into believing that she supports the troops. We know from her ridiculous ‘Don’t call me ma’am’ statement earlier this year that she thinks highly of herself and her position, but this is the absolute height of hypocrisy as she has consistently failed to support our troops and their missions. Looking back over this Senator’s career, you’ll see a pattern of trampling and demeaning the brave men and women who serve in our military. She is quick to criticize them whenever they are being attacked, and she is conspicuously absent when they need her support. Her supposed leadership of this caucus is no more than a political gimmick to distance herself from her most recent comments about the military that were both shameful and insulting. The Military Family Caucus is a noble effort, but Senator Boxer is no friend to the troops or their families and her title as part of the caucus does not make up for her lack of support or leadership for military families in the past. We doubt very seriously that this maneuver will fool anyone. Rather, it will be seen for exactly what it is – a transparent and insincere attempt to curry favor from a group for which she has never shown interest or respect.
