I guess being trained as a plumber by the USAF doesn’t count or did CNN just not bother to look that up? and I guess decades of service to this country doesn’t count either when it comes to respect?
How dare this reporter be so snide as to call Joe “Samuel”. Only someone with an obvious lack of breeding would insist on using Joe’s first name when it’s perfectly clear Joe doesn’t use his first name. How rude and petty.
kiss off, CNN, find a way to increase your pitiful ratings by picking on someone who’s NOT a veteran.
sue the pants off ‘em, Joe!!! Take ‘em to the cleaners!! This character assassination of middle class working people and veterans by rabid urbanite elitists needs to stop!
My dad never used his first name because he hated it. If anyone ever called him Sam, they were not a friend. It was delicious irony to see some officious bloviator glad-hand my dad and call him Samuel! They had no idea of the seething disgust that caused.
