(12,659 posts)I don't care that an OCS REMF who did the minimum to pay for college runs for politics. I do care that he's mocking real sailors and pilots who have dangerous jobs by playing pretend warrior.
Pompous Bully should also know the fighting Navy pilots do is pretty much always off an aircraft carrier. They don't "fight" from a commercial hanger.
At least Dukakis actually drove a tank when he was active duty. DeSantis was always desk jockey.
