Idk what is most surprising here:
- he hasn’t gotten it covered (apparently had since 2006)
- this made it through the pod save edit to be shown on their video
- pod save had him on
Wonder what the excuses will be this time on why it’s okay he’s still in the race as if he wins probably will be another fetterman.
Or maybe I’m so conspiracy brained I wonder if this is a way to make the ancient governor running look like the best candidate
Dude enlisted in the marines, the branch you go to when you want to commit heinous warcrimes (euphemistically termed as “fucking shit up”). The people who sign up for financial reasons or don’t really want to be there join the army or navy. You can see it in racial statistics where the US navy has the most POC while the marines has the least. Even using propaganda as an excuse, there’s an (overly simplified and misleading) understanding that you’re going to shoot people if you’re a marine while you’re just stuck on a boat if you’re a sailor. Now factor in the fact that the marines has the highest minimum physical requirements compared with the other branches, and it paints him and every other marine recruit as people who really want to commit warcrimes.
