On the ground in Iraq in the rear with the gear. Not even that - in the rear of the rear with grunts to handle his gear.

But through an interview with his former commander in Iraq, the Miami Herald/Tampa Bay Times has learned more about what the young then-Navy lieutenant did overseas during this turbulent period.

He arrived in the fall of 2007 as part of "the surge" of nearly 30,000 U.S. troops, whose mission was to quell insurgencies that turned cities like Fallujah into bloody battle zones. But it was costly, and 961 U.S. troops died that year.

During the surge, DeSantis served as a senior legal adviser to the SEAL who commanded Special Operations Task Force-West in Fallujah, Navy Capt. Dane Thorleifson.

DeSantis was responsible for helping ensure that the missions of Navy SEALs and Army Green Berets in that wide swath of the Western Euphrates River Valley were planned according to the rule of law and that captured detainees were humanely treated, said his commander at the time.

"He did a phenomenal job," Thorleifson, 55, said of DeSantis in a Herald/Times interview. "It was a pretty complex time, with Iraqi sovereignty starting to take hold."

During this period, task force troops rounded up about 100 detainees, said Thorleifson. They were mostly military-aged males, some of whom were found with suicide vests while others were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.

It was up to DeSantis, the lone lawyer with the Judge Advocate General Corps (JAG), to not only assure that the men were treated humanely and interrogated in accordance with the Geneva Conventions and U.S. military regulations, but to make sure that, when warranted, they were handed off to the proper legal authorities in Iraq for prosecution in that country's nascent judicial system, Thorleifson said.

Iraqi men were rounded up in raids conducted by SEALs and Green Berets to help take insurgents off the battlefield and gain intelligence, missions that DeSantis helped plan, Thorleifson said.

DeSantis, said Thorleifson, was a critical part of the task force that had about 400 personnel who were conducting raids, doing interrogations and detentions and moving prisoners into the Iraqi legal system.

Thorleifson described DeSantis as "one of my very close counsels that as we developed a mission concept of operations, he made sure it was legal. I respected him a lot as a JAG. He was super smart, articulate, resourceful and a positive part of the staff. I relied on him heavily."

The two haven't seen each other in person or been in contact since the end of that deployment, Thorleifson said.

"But I see him all the time on (Fox News)," added Thorleifson, who retired two months ago after 30 years in uniform and now lives in San Diego and works for a defense contractor. "I am rooting for him."

I really wasn’t doing much more than picking at the first post that sounded like he was in the line of fire, risking life and limb. Which isn’t necessarily the case, as like I said he was in the rear in an office setting. That’s where legal advisory like that happens. Hey, all in all, I respect his involvement.

Watched her yesterday and she's annoying... comes off 100% fake.

Told the same stupid story she told the day before around her voice because she was debating with a 5yr old or whatnot. I had to do a double take bc I thought it was a replay.

Say the same thing about Jill Biden, HRC, Hunter or Trumps kids threads? CD is getting involved like they do, and not sitting behind the scenes like Melania.

And this thread is more about how DeSantis looks like he is standing there holding his wifes purse like a cuck, not about CD. If she wants to get into the game, then she is fair game just like Jill Biden, and the rest are. If she wants to be above reproach then sit back and let her man get the job done. Otherwise #woman-power isn't going to be ignored.

I'll be respectful about it, but if she continues to lurk in the back ground, I will call it out no matter who's wife it is. I'd say the same about Trump if his wife was the same. But that may be me cause I'm traditional old school like like that, where the wife needs to be behind close enough to her husband to support him, but not stand next to him.
