Rep. Mark Green, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Tennessee’s 7th district, recently shared his views and reflections through a series of tweets. These posts addressed concerns about drone technology, commemorated a significant military operation, and celebrated the National Guard's anniversary.

On December 13, 2024, Rep. Mark Green expressed concerns regarding drone technology in a tweet: "It is clear that in the wrong hands, drone technology has the potential to negatively impact the essential mission of law enforcement agencies, disrupt our critical infrastructure or mass-spectator events such as NFL games, and even surveil sensitive U.S. military sites.…"

Later that day, he reflected on a personal experience related to his military service on the anniversary of Saddam Hussein's capture: "As I reflect on the 21st anniversary of the capture of Saddam Hussein, I’m moved by the memories of the Special Operators I served alongside as their doctor during the mission. We got the intel and within half an hour we were in the air. That night impacted my life in many ways.…"

In another tweet posted on December 13, 2024, Rep. Green celebrated over three centuries of service by acknowledging members of a vital national institution: "Celebrating 388 years of our #NationalGuard and the citizen soldiers who are Always Ready, Always There! And to the Tennesseans who put on the uniform and our units deployed around the world, thank you. We are grateful for your service and sacrifice."
