Didn’t this guy run for some office previously? The name is familiar.

I have always maintained that any military service deserves respect, but that any particular veteran needs to be taken on his own merits. Some of them are just bad actors, some are dumb, some hide out in the sh*tter. Some are everyday salt of the earth and some are heroes..

Sestak is the classic political hack and perfumed prince of a flag officer.

Definitely not a “In Case of War, Break Glass” kind of guy.

I expect Sleestak to gain all the traction that Webb gained in the 2016 race...

What “combat operations” in 2002?

Did this mean “missile” attacks on Iraq? If so, when?

Ground ops didn’t begin until about 3:00 AM March 20, 2003. My son was one of the first American soldiers into Iraq, jumping off with Kuwaiti engineers.

I won’t deny Sestak his service but I’d like to know more about it. We don’t want another John Kerry running, do we?

Eh, who needs to be in the first debate(s)? He was an admiral ( really?) and he has a touching story of his daughter’s cancer.
When smoke clears he sees a clear path to mediocrity.

2 failed PA SEnate races? Perfect candidate for Democrats for Prez.

Thank you for recalling the “FR Rules” when Slestak last ran for Senate.

The rule continues to apply.
Same with that Dowd chick...

Visible proof you can be a left wing vet!

Majority of the flag ranks are left wing, and some pretty far left. You should google Gen. (Ret) Barry McCaffrey's twitter feed to see how the upper echelon of the military thinks. Here's an examples:

" Barry R McCaffrey ‏Verified account @mccaffreyr3 Jun 17 Barry R McCaffrey Retweeted The Washington Post Buttigieg is an incredibly gifted and thoughtful Presidential candidate. He would also be a superb Sec State or Sec Def."

The arrangement of candidates is based on polls, not random.

Biden in center, flanked by Mayor BG & Bernie.
Warren in center, flanked by Beto, Booker

Delaney, deBlasio, Marianne, Swalwell well get the 4 end spots

Ok, can u top this ...

One of my cats was nowhere to be found for a few hours Sun. I finally found him in the attic beneath the floor, sticking his nose in the 1/8 inch space between boards.

He had snuck into the gap between the floor and wall and crawled 12 feet under ... To the middle of room.

Took me about 40 minutes to pry up the board so he could get out.

Someday, I’ll fix the damage .

I’d say you win but here’s mine, shortly after we got the cats, one disappeared, she was found in the basement apartment many hours later, she got there through a hole in the bathroom wall and jumped down from the ceiling tiles.

There is also a floor hole that has a little hiding place between the boards, had to put a heavy tile over that sh*t. Impossible to extract, had to coax out with food.

There were naughty little acrobats and contortionists before they got tubby.

Lately, one them attacks the mail if leave it where I usually do, and she flipped the light switch, twice.

I am bringing tomorrow to get em all tested for the leukemia virus. Their sister who adopted elsewhere tested positive, so I’m expecting the same.

Vetco at Petco.

That’s very bad. The ones who have leukemia must be quarantined from those that don’t. If they all have it (I hope not), then it won’t matter. Several of mine had it and they didn’t live long. :-(
