Buttigieg wasn't a Navy lawyer. He did get his commission via the DCO route.
Both Biden and DeSantis did their OBC at University of Virginia.
They both did their part. And then there are guys like Tom Cotton, who went above and beyond.
Military lawyers pretending they are veterans is silly. They get in the way. Not a lot of USMC lawyers on Iwo Jima.
In the past they were useful for wills and such.
Now they function as zampolit and get operational approval before missions and in targeting.
The 8th Air Force wasn’t running German targets before missions.
They have massively multiplied in numbers. And Beau Biden was a corrupt fobbit no better than Hunter.
