Ron DeSantis Military Service You Probably Didn't Know About. He was a Navy Lawyer.

I thought he was a pilot(I can't figure out why I thought that), but turns out he was a Tom Cruise "I want the truth" legal advisor to Navy Seals team. Also was on a bench

I mean.....military service, but looks like a very safe non-combat position.

quote:

DeSantis shared few details about his military career while campaigning for governor in 2018, but the Florida Phoenix filed a public information request and learned that he “served as a prosecutor, defense attorney, international law attorney and a Judge Advocate General’s Corps Officer.” Yes, JAG, like the TV show. The records also show that DeSantis’s duties also included being a physical fitness coordinator, a recruiting officer, an assistant urinalysis coordinator (a program related to drug screening), and an awards officer.

Also, low key way to diss your actual service as a military attorney. JAG officers get no end of pop culture love — from A Few Good Men, to the JAG show and all of it’s spin offs: NCIS, NCIS: Los Angeles, NCIS: New Orleans and NCIS: Hawai?i. But rather than lean on any of those reference points he’d rather get dressed up in tough guy regalia and jump in a fighter jet.

Of course, this isn’t the first time that a political candidate tried to toughen up his image by cosplaying as a warrior. Mike Dukakis famously had a photo op in a tank during the 1988 presidential election. Referred to as the worst campaign photo op ever, it… did not go well for the candidate. And the internet is making the comparison.

Ahhh, that's why I thought he was a pilot. He was cos-playing one. I'm starting to think our boy is a phony.

I really don’t care what his job was in the military, what I care about are his actions as a politician and the words that come out his mouth.

All that makes me respect him more.
He doesn't make a big deal about it.
Doesn't try and act as if he was Rambo (Biden and his son).

Nothing wrong with being a Jag officer.
DeSantis doesn't act like he put foot to arse. I see no issue.

Officers only have 3 choices, ground, air, or law. I’m a trump guy and veteran and his service doesn’t bother me. If he is exaggerating, he should stop.

He copies Trump yelling at the media; with Karl Rove GOPe diplomatic fake words.

They are calling him a white nationalist that hates gays. Imagine what is said if they get Trump out.

The “God” ad signals that any presidential bid by DeSantis, who is clearly plotting one, will aggressively court Christian nationalists and, in the process, empower them. That was already becoming clear from his penchant for foregrounding biblical references in his oratory.

That Top Gov ad was so disingenuous. Something a Madison Avenue Ad firm hired by Karl Rove would do.

Trump’s bone spurs bought and paid for by his daddy kept him from defeating the NVA and being proclaimed the greatest warrior in American history says the cultists.

He still served (albeit not in a manner that most people would envision).

It is more than most would do, and he should be commended.

And I guess Trump was on the front lines taking out terrorists by hand while Ron was lawyer-ing.

I do want to add that him being a JAG Officer makes me more wary of him, not less.

When he bamned Louisiana residents from traveling into Florida (even homeowners iirc), he displayed an authoritarian aspect that would make Fidel’s boy (Trudeau) proud.

This action by him has yet to be addressed.

Given that he is a lawyer, that tells me that he knowingly shite on the rights of US citizens.

That doesn’t sit well with me - at all.

They guy is well educated, was in the military, is a great governor with a beautiful family. Why pick something so minor to get bent out of shape for?

You have too much time on your hands.
