The congresswoman who dropped this initially was Mikie Sherill, who mentioned it in a livestream to her constituents. Within a few hours she had a couple other congresspersons backing her up. People made much about the militaristic nature of the word "reconnaissance" without noting that - Mikie Sherrill flew helicopters over Bosnia for a living - Mikie Sherrill was the Russia Policy advisor for CINCOM-Europe - Mikie Sherrill litigated at Kirkland Ellis for three years - Mikie Sherrill was an AUSA in New Jersey just before becoming a congressperson It's safe to say her words were carefully chosen.
