Influx of military veterans heads to Washington

Among the winners in America's bitter midterm elections were dozens of military veterans, whose "mission first" mindset could help in a deeply divided Congress where the notion of bipartisanship has all but disappeared. At least 16 "freshmen" veterans were elected for the first time to serve in the House of Representatives, the largest influx of new vets since 2010. Final tallies were still being counted, but at least three of these newcomers are women, meaning seven female vets will now serve in Congress -- the highest number ever.
