It clearly acknowledges that DeSantis deployed with the SEALS.
Ron DeSantis was a JAG lawyer in the military. I have no idea what “deploying with the SEALS” means, in that context.
Read with comprehension. He worked to protect rights of the enemy. He also acted as defense council at Guantanamo and prosecuted our side for violations of “detainees” during interrogation.
“His position was Legal Advisor to the U.S. Navy SEAL Commander, Special Operations Task Force-West.
DeSantis played an advisory role to the commander in support of the SEAL mission in Fallujah, Ramadi, and the remaining area of Al Anbar province.
As a Navy attorney, DeSantis served as senior legal advisor and close counsel to SEAL team captain Dane Thorleifson.
In this capacity, DeSantis oversaw the treatment of detainees to ensure humane conduct toward them while in Iraq.
It is reported that he worked to protect the rights of approximately 100 detainees during this time.
In addition, he monitored the missions of Navy SEALs and Army Green Berets in his jurisdiction to ensure they followed and adhered to the rule of law.
This monitoring included making sure that interrogations followed the rules of the U.S. military and the Geneva Conventions.
Military records substantiate DeSantis’s duties in Iraq and the Arabian Peninsula during 2007 and part of 2008, described as follows:
Special operations
Special reconnaissance
Intelligence operations
Foreign internal defense operations
Therefore, though Ron DeSantis was not a Navy SEAL himself, he did play a role as legal advisor to SEAL Captain Dane Thorleifson, commander of Special Operations Task Force-West in Iraq.”
