"Soldier, Sailor, Airman, Marine"

"So I volunteered for service and I know I could be sent overseas which means I need to be vaccinated against diseases I might encounter there and not here (like polio), but I want to pick which vaccines I get and refuse the rest because I want to be a risk and a burden on my comrades and the military medical system because....reasons."

"And the GOP House should refuse to fund the military to back me up; me and 20,000 of my buddies."

These guys probably will refuse to raise the debt ceiling.
Are they willing to risk the global and domestic economy to do so?  No, probably not.  In fact, this one is Charlie Brown kicking the football.  It's become a tradition, because it ends the same way everytime.

But it won't be Trump who burns down the GOP.  The GOP is gonna do it for him.  Let's just hope they don't take the country with them. (Narrator: they won't.  Steube thinks the GOP controls the House now, but the House Freedom Caucus (of which he is a member) is a minority of the bare majority of the House.  It would only take a few rational GOP members to join the Democrats in funding the military (what are the odds?) and raising the debt ceiling.  Ditto in the Senate.)
The House Freedom Causus has McCarthy's balls in a jar under a desk somewhere in the Capitol offices.
