Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is facing backlash after suggesting that US schools should be flooded with armed military veterans —many of whom suffer from TPSD— to enhance security following the mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, last week.

“It is time to mobilize our retired and former service members who are willing to help secure our schools,” Graham wrote. “Our schools are soft targets. They contain our most valuable possession – our children, the future of our country – and must be protected.”

Graham’s comments reflect a GOP-led push to change the narrative to security in schools instead of gun control legislation proposed by Democrats and gun control advocates.

His remarks were met with harsh criticism from Twitter users:
