You are right. It does no good to even mention what she is doing with her service and war injuries. It just makes her opponent look bad, EVEN IF TRUE.
“EVEN IF TRUE”
It’s a little thing called prudence.

Prudence gives her a rope to politically hang herself.
Saying anything in the vein of “I call BS” is merely impatience.
