Representative Brian Mast (R-FL), the only member of Congress to have served in both the US Army and the Israeli Defense Forces, made a statement by wearing his IDF uniform to a House Republican caucus meeting. Mast's attire was in response to Representative Rashida Tlaib displaying a Palestinian flag. Mast stated, 'Tlaib's got her flag; I've got my uniform.' The move has sparked controversy and raised questions about the appropriateness of wearing a military uniform in a political setting.
