I'd say he did his duty. And the safest place over there is like someone saying they stayed at the nicest hotel in Southside Chicago, except worse, of course.

Now you're just making **** up.

So now we are Swift Boating our own candidates...awesome.

A man chooses to serve and we are ****ing on it because he isnt the candidate we like. Cool story. How about you go to Kabul and walk around without protection and see how you feel.

Re: 2020 Democratic Challengers Vi: The Undiscovered Country

He talks about how dangerous it was and how he constantly had to carry a gun when in reality he worked on spreadsheets in the safest area of Afghanistan (Kabul). And the sources for that claim about being the uber driver or whatever are his own quotes.

How do you know this and that none of the following is accurate:

While deployed, Buttigieg was part of a unit assigned to identify and disrupt terrorist finance networks. Part of this was done at Bagram Air Base, but he also worked as an armed driver for his commander on over 100 trips into Kabul. Buttigieg has jokingly called this role "military Uber", because he had to watch out for ambushes and explosive devices along the roads and make sure the vehicle was guarded.[39]

No one needs to kiss Pete's *** over this (regardless of what he did) and I don't think he's asking. You again come off as someone cynical of anyone not named Bernie.

Which has nothing to do with anything anybody said, but please do continue.

There's nothing verifying it other than his own quote claiming he did it so...

Ummm....so we're assuming he's a liar without any evidence? I'm a little confused as to you and Kep's angle here. If he was BS'ing about this his commander or people in his unit presumably would call him out on it.

If there's some reason to doubt any of this, please post it. I'm not voting for Buttigieg in the primary and he's like my 5th choice to win the nomination but I just don't get questioning the guy's service if that's all he said about it.

Nobody cared when they did it to John Kerry. Why should anyone care now?

Re: 2020 Democratic Challengers Vi: The Undiscovered Country

I'm assuming that since there were zero suicide bombings in Kabul and his job was to watch for them in case they happened, that it wasn't as dangerous as he's claiming because it wasn't.

I expect that out of Republicans because they're a treasonous money laundering cult. A bit more surprised to see this out of fellow Dems.

Dems didn't care about John Kerry in the slightest. They just let the Republicans get away with it.

Dude you gotta read all the posts not just yours

Maybe that wasnt what YOU were saying (though your post wasnt much better...Jewish moms dont speak with that level of condescension ) but that is 100% what trixie is implying.

If you arent impressed by his service that is fine, but then dont talk about it you dont need to crap all over it just because you look at the military as a joke.

For 7 months in 2014 apparently, again if he's to be believed.....

Re: 2020 Democratic Challengers Vi: The Undiscovered Country

I don't look at the military as a joke and neither does Kep but there's a pretty clear difference between what privileged people like Buttigieg do for their service compared to some poor person from Appalachia or the inner city of LA.

Either you did not read what I wrote or you are an idiot.

Your insecurity overdetermines everything you read and write. Let it go. Nobody is looking down on you until you open your yap.

Doesn't Kep work for a defense contractor or something military related? Trying to see if I have this straight:

1) He's crapping on military service but happily cashes paychecks due to the military
2) He wants all plutes and influence peddlers jailed while attending swanky DC cocktail parties every week paid for by said plutes and influence peddlers.
3) He blasts the rich defined as anybody making over 75K a year while accepting a regular allowance from his more successful spouse to buy trinkets like 2nd homes and cars.

Am I missing anything?
