It would’ve been even better if he’d said, “I’m not a General, nor am I an Indian, Senator...”

Never give them what they want - the idiotic ‘yes or no’ exchange.

DC is rife with people who have proven that they will say anything to get where they want to go, so I understand her question and concerns. Can you be bought by the PACS, Military Industrial Complex, etc.? And her question also tells me she knows and has seen corruption not just in the public sector.

If what she quoted him as saying is true, his answer should have been yes or no. Come out and say it and stop with the legalese. You have good, God-fearing Conservatives across the country who have put their faith by vote in Donald Trump because they are tired of the bull crap steaming out of Washington. It was a dodge. Cute... but a dodge none-the-less and fed right into her and the lefts hands and that should be a little concerning.

Besides, ten years? At his age, when he’s done with this position, go back to FOX and then collect his MIC grift down the road in 10 years.

LOL, so many things Pete coud’ve said this morning, and would’ve said if he weren’t the professional soldier and leader that he is.

Pocahontas couldn’t portray him stoopid when he has degrees from Princeton and Harvard plus a Bronze Star.

Yup. They are only trying to set up negative soundbites for their fellow travelers in the media. Ask a loaded question and try to force a yes or no answer when neither would be adequate, a "Have you stopped beating your wife?" sort of strategy.

I loved it when one RAT asked Pete to explain what JAG is. Pete just said, “No.” LOL!

He assumed that anyone who is paying attention to this hearing already knows what it means.
