I don’t think America is ready for a President that digs in another man’s foxhole.

Dear Mean Little Pete B*ttplug: Abraham Lincoln was not a veteran, neither was FDR.

I’d tell you to sh*ve your sanctimonious phony bullsh*t up your @ss, except you’d like it.

I was stationed in West Germany in the late 70s, early 80s as an armor crewman. I tell folks these days that I drank beer and chased frauliens...tax dollars at work. They say thank you for serving...I say..the beer was good...

Okay, Petey served. Got it. Did he get mud on his boots? The horror!

I think he’s shooting for a back door in the Oval Office. Maybe something butting up to the Resolute.

‘Wasn’t this guy a “rear area” veteran? In that respect, he probably vastly experienced long before he joined the military.’

As in the comment from the ‘Dating Game Show’ - “That be in the butt, Bob?”

I wish more thought went in to the term “Veteran”. There are “Veterans”, and there are “Veterans”. Most “Veterans” never saw any more danger than a city bus driver sees. Some “Veterans” saw things most of us cannot imagine.

Please use adjectives when you use “Veteran”.

Buttigieg advertised he was a Veteran with picture in Uniform with a Big Rifle...

In the gay community, the size of your rifle matters.

Some Military Presidents, particularly those who were generals, have shown success mainly (I believe) because they have learned how to work large bureaucracies and get them to bend to their will...

However simply having served has not shown any decernable benefit historically.

I agree that the CIC should respect and understand the cost associated with military actions.. however you don’t need to serve to appreciate that.

Bush II served.. should your typical voter say in retrospect that he was a great success as a President? Bush I? Etc...

Powder puff Pete, I originally thought he was using 2020 to build some name recognition and networking for a future run... but the more he panders the more it’s obvious he’s not ready for prime time.

If I had to handicap the 2024 D nominee i’d Say someone like a Manchinis the most likely candidate. D’s have gone off the deep end left and are going to get crushed this fall. Will need to moderate in 2024 or rush facing another 8 years of GOP White House ownership.

Maybe so—but it was a two month assignment deep in the rear of the REMF!
