Never worked a real job in his life? When is the last time you were deployed to Fallujah Iraq during the war as the JAG for the USMC? He had an excellent reputation with the line troops there.

Hell, have you ever been a Marine??

The 6 weeks I spent in Quantico at the USMC Platoon Leaders Course was a long summer…

I think you’re an idiot for posting this same crap on every DeSantis thread while you have your facts absolutely effed up.

Here is his military history:

DeSantis received his Reserve Naval officer’s commission and assignment to the Judge Advocate General’s Corps (JAG) in 2004 at the U.S. Naval Reserve Center in Dallas, Texas, while still a student at Harvard Law School. He completed Naval Justice School in 2005. Later that year, he received orders to the JAG Trial Service Office Command South East at Naval Station Mayport, Florida, as a prosecutor. He was promoted from lieutenant, junior grade to lieutenant in 2006. He worked for the commander of Joint Task Force-Guantanamo (JTF-GTMO), working directly with detainees at the Guantanamo Bay Joint Detention Facility.[17][18][19]

In 2007, DeSantis reported to the Naval Special Warfare Command Group in Coronado, California, where he was assigned to SEAL Team One and deployed to Iraq[20] with the troop surge as the Legal Advisor to the SEAL Commander, Special Operations Task Force-West in Fallujah.[17][18][19]

DeSantis returned to the U.S. in April 2008, at which time he was reassigned to the Naval Region Southeast Legal Service. The U.S. Department of Justice appointed him to serve as an assistant U.S. attorney[20] at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Middle District of Florida. DeSantis was assigned as a trial defense counsel until his honorable discharge from active duty in February 2010. He concurrently accepted a reserve commission as a lieutenant in the Judge Advocate General’s Corps of the US Navy Reserve.[21] He was awarded the Bronze Star Medal, the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and the Iraq Campaign Medal.[17][18][19]

Means nothing to me, dude.

I voted for Trump in 2016 because I knew he'd be the first President in 25 years who didn't get the U.S. involved in another stupid, endless war. I have no such confidence in Ron DeSantis on that count whatsoever.

When I watched Trump's campaign appearances in 2016 where he flew around in a jet with the name "TRUMP" on the side of it, I never had to ask myself who paid for the thing. If and when Ron DeSantis runs for President, "Who paid for that jet?" will be the first question on my mind.
