Three things about Pete's military record, which he constantly brags about:

1) Direct commission, like Hunter Biden. He did not training, just passed a physical and put on officer's rank.

2) He cited Kerry as a role model, and Kerry threw away his medals and in congressional testimony lied and said torture was routine.

3) Mayor Bootygood said he drove or guarded a truck 119 times "outside the wire." Look, driving in the military and looking out for your vehicle, these are things so routine there are no figures even kept. So the 119 number was just made up by some speechwriter.

One thing about Trump's military record:

1. nonexistent, was a draft dodger


Well if Trump's record is good enough for Republicans, then I guess Buttigieg's record should be good enough for them also.

To the extent that anything is better than nothing, I concur.

In the ideal, every president would have military service overseas to get the feel of what implementing foreign policy really means at the tip of the spear.

Like others here, I've been on guard duty looking across at enemy soldiers, and it isn't always enjoyable.

Like Biden and Clinton and Gingrich and many others, Trump would have more and different perspective had he served, but his general approach is correct -- stay out of overseas conflict UNLESS you plan to win and quickly.

But we live in the real world, where Liz and Bernie and most others did not serve, and so we select candidates based on those on the ballot.

The interesting part is that this direct commission thing into the Reserves was even done by LBJ apparently.

He got a commission when he was in Congress, then went on a brief inspection trip, rode on a plane, and was given an award for valor.

Like Hunter Biden, apparently Mayor Bootygood was just beefing up his resume.

And perhaps had plenty of beef in the rear...

I'm comfortable because I am not threatened by them, johnny.

You, on the other hand, are afraid of the urges you feel every day when you watch your library of male bodybuilding competition videos.

johnny, I thought we agreed that you would keep your homosexual fantasies to yourself. This is the "Political Forum" after all and not the "Exhibitionists Forum."

No, you misunderstood.

He has that fantasy life, and he even married a fellow practitioner of the same dark, demented, deviant deeds.

Sure, Clown's fantasy life is more loaded with germs than the average coronavirus outbreak, but not mine.

It is Mayor Pete, not me, who is constantly proclaiming himself the gay candidate or introducing his "husband" or some such.

Us normal people are just watching the parade of weirdos prance by.
