You have to give her credit for actually serving her country.

Good for Tulsi. I don’t agree with her politics, but I do give her credit for serving her country. I believe if she didn’t live in Hawaii, but let’s say Texas she would be a republican, albeit a liberal one.

“You have to give her credit for actually serving her country.”

Agreed. Credit where credit is due.

She’s a leftist. Congratulations to her for serving. It would not change my decision not to vote for her.

I would never vote for her, but to the degree you can respect a Democrat I respect her. President Trump considered her for a cabinet position.

On the other hand what she advocates for foreign policy is dangerous and ill-informed. aka a Democrat.

Whatever …

She's just further proof that "veteran" isn't a reliable qualification for public office.

The press are wondering if she's concerned whether this will be a "setback" for her campaign.

LOL, what "campaign"? She should use the deployment as an excuse to drop out.

She looked great in the debate. I would not vote for her but among the Rats she almost appears like a normal human being.

One wrong step from her and they’ll excommunicate her from their church.

Her service is not a big deal for two weeks when she barely registers in Rat polls. She’s trying to make it to the next debate which is about as much as she can hope for and maybe she knows it’s out of reach now.

One day she may leave the Democrat Party. That will be the only interesting day in her political career for me.

How much credit would you give if she gave the order to fire on deplorables? Any leftist in a US military uniform is as much the enemy as a member of ISIS.

Everyone who serves deserves credit, however not necessarily a vote.

>> she would be a republican

From what I've read, she used to be, or she had a more conservative viewpoint. But then "evolved," of course. Shame.

"Any leftist in a US military uniform is as much the enemy as a member of ISIS."

What a completely idiotic statement.

Sorry, I won’t give credit to climbing politicians for their military “service”. It’s been fashionable since 9/11 for leftists to burnish their resumes with time in the military. It’s just a camouflage tool they are using to gain power and undermine us from within.

I’ll happily give credit to all else serving who do not seek political benefit from their service.

Tulsi is an intriguing woman...multi-dimensional and complex. And she serves our country in uniform! No other candidate can say that.

Sorry but despite her poise, intelligence and occasional good acts, she still has become a vile Democrat, is knee deep in blood for her support of abortion and if elected or comes to serve in some high powerful office, will bring great harm to America.

Wonder how many direct orders she will violate?

This “deployment” wasn’t a surprise.

It’s her National Guard annual tour.
