I personally don’t understand why being a senator, even on the foreign relations committee, supposedly makes one an expert. They all seem like idiots to me.
Agree.....in my state, Georgia, people and the media always touted Sam Nunn as some kind of Defense Expert. But his experience was always political. Never in the military, but spent 24 years in the Senate, blah, blah, blah.....
He saw Georgia was going Red and got out and he took every Trustee and advisorship he could lay his hands on in academia and bidness, what not. Hasn’t done sh!t for Georgia except feather his bed since he chose not to run again. Unless you want to count him helping to try and elect his mousy daughter to the Senate....
