Tulsi served in Iraq. That’s more than any member of the Bush or Cheney family can say
George H.W. Bush was shot down twice. Please tell me what your warrior hero Tulsi did that compares to that. And no, I am not a Bush fan.
While an honorable profession, gabbard should clarify she isn't a combat vet.
Tulsi will be the VP candidate for the dems, prezactly because of her military service. Also, she is a raging extremist.
She made a little sense on one issue...
better check your facts, Vet. GHWBush was a decorated WWII combat pilot shot down and fished from the pacific ocean.
and whether YOU like it or not GWBush was a pilot in the Texas Air National Guard. if his daddy getting him out of Vietnam pisses you off, tough sh!t.
I sat in a bunker in W. Germany wearing headphones listening to dit dit da da dit dit da dit da for 6 years, “served in Iraq” does that make her better than me ?
I thank her for her service, but she can keep her smarmy arrogant leftist agenda in Hawaii.
Not a big fan of the Bushes, but you need to go look at Bush Sr’s military record. His TBM Avenger was hit repeatedly by flak over Chichijima while on a mission to bomb the installations there. Despite his aircraft being crippled, he continued the mission and successfully bombed several installations on the island. Lieutenant Junior Grade Bush then nursed his now burning aircraft for several miles back towards friendly forces in order to give his crew the best chance of survival (i.e., not being instantly executed by the Japanese on the island); he then had his three man crew bail out - unfortunately, one was already dead and the other man’s parachute never opened. He spent four hours in shark infested waters before being picked up by the US submarine Finback and spending a month helping rescue other downed aviators until he could be transferred back to his carrier from the sub.
