Who does he think wii be impressed with his service? The left hates the military, and the right hates his agenda.

“Gay” Pete Buttigieg never saw combat!!

So he shouldn’t “lean in” so hard on his service. It’s good that he served, but he’s not a “war hero”.

And he’s a RADICAL Dim—not a moderate as he’s trying to paint himself!!!!

OKay.

Give him his due.
He served.

Documents provide glimpse into Buttigieg's military service

I'm sure the next big thing the media will be gushing over is that he's fluent in 8 languages.

Of course, the fact that First Lady Melania is fluent in 7, is always ignored.

Not in Afghanistan or Iraq. Forgot which one he was in. He probably took on fire at some point. Everybody does.

Reminds me of Elena Ceausescu's "Doctorate" in Chemistry.

Whenever you see the phrase 'leans into' or something similar in an article (or like 'leans in' in the title of this article), it is a safe bet that the writers are SJWs. It is a lame phrase that Obama used in a speech or two, so it has become a little dog whistle for the regressive journolists ever since. Often, the phrase makes absolutely no sense in how it is used, but it is just kind of shoe-horned into a sentence so they can be as hip as Obummer.
