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

Again at least DeSantis had the balls to sign up and was a JAG officer attached to the SEAL teams operating and advising the SEAL teams in Iraq so its not like he was ducking and hiding either: unlike Cadet Bonespur
DeSantis had a law degree from Harvard and its not like he could have been in the private sector making big money instead of signing up and going to Iraq. That is a hell of a lot more than Trump ever did.
You should really just drop it and shut the frick up now alter instead of shitting on his military service.
Being a lawyer in the army and taking a government paycheck while building up his base for political run isn't all that "selfless".
He clearly wanted to use military service as a trampoline for his Congressional run which was immediately after his discharge. Then seamlessly into governor.
Bo Biden had the same plan, but cancer took care of that for us.

Trump wasn't a soldier, and neither was DeSantis. DeSantis was a military bureaucrat who relied on government check and was paving the way for his Congressional run which came almost immediately after his discharge from the Navy.
I'm sure risking your life at a military base pumping out paperwork and burning midnight oil well outside of any insurgent mortar range where Iraqis don't even have a single stinger to shoot at aircraft is such a terrifying ordeal . I'm being sarcastic.
Iraq after the invasion was over was a cakewalk if you weren't in the infantry. Comedians, celebs, and politicians visited military bases which was plenty safe to do.

So me did what his country asked of him and your upset , Screw you
No need to get personal. I don't feel any emotion towards this issue, other than my surprise that Ron was a lawyer in the military, aka jag officer.
And unless he touts his military service, I don't care one way or another. However, if he does, then we have a case of a military bureaucrat pretending to be a soldier.

I'm starting to think you is a phony.
I'm pro-Trump since 2015, I don't think I pretend to be some moderate lukewarm Republican. I loathe Bushes, McCain, Cheyneys, Romney, and basically all Republican establishment. Only good thing about R party is Pauls, Trump, J. Jordan and newcomers like Gaetz, MTG, and Boebert. We need to push the party into ultra-populism mode to get off this failing uniparty trajectory that's been slowly devouring middle class and communities since the 70s, frankly.
I'm very good at figuring people out, so I thought I'd share an insight. The more vetting I'm doing on Ronny D, the less he appeals to me. I'll never pick him over Trump, but I would obviously vote for him over any DINO.
When I was in HS and first year in college, I was young and dumb and thought Republicans were the pro-war clique that bankrupted the country, caused 2008 crash and that D's would be the answer. Then Obummer came and dispelled my confusion that there were 2 parties. There was 1 party.
Finally we got Trump in 2015. But before Trump even announced, Ronny D was voting with Obama on TPP and basically towing the party line. He's an establishment cookie cutter Repbulican originally, which is why RINOs are banking so heavily on him.
quote:
He should have pardoned everybody at the demonstration/riot on J6 on his way out the door.
Trump talks about fighting more than he actually fights. He fights more than most, no question, but not as much as he talks.
How can you pardon everyone when most people weren't even charged till months after. They used Feds all over the country to arrest protesters, nobody knew who was there.
quote:
don’t worry, he’ll tick tock his way to not doing anything
If he issued a blank pardon to everyone on Jan 6th protest which was 6000 people, then they'd definitely have a case for insurrection.

Listen skippy, because my IQ is probably two deviations above yours and I'm rarely wrong about people, even those I never personally meet, I'm probably a good judge of character to at least consider as a source.
Believe what you like, but I see a RINO career politican who copycatted Trump's schtick. But that's not his roots.
He's had a federal government paycheck his whole adult life.

In a few years, if DeSantis wins and actually implements reactionary policies (instead of trump’s total lack of planning and calculation) you’ll be rabidly pro DeSantis.
Implement what? TPP. No thank you.
Guy is a career politican with backing of billionaire donors who just got into limelight by copying Trump.The more I look into him, the more I'm seeing a profile of a hack.

Ignore this operative.
Serious question why register then run here to attack Ron DeSantis? Would love to know the motivation.
I guess I'm a MAGA populist operative.
I think RDS is a RINO and I hate Uniparty RINOs.
That would be sufficient motivation.
I think he's done a good job in FL but I don't trust this guy in any way on foreign policy.
He voted for TPP that was supposed to Obama's crown achievement. Then Trump pulled out of it.
quote:
Is he a politician? If so, he's a phony.
I resent that approach in terms of accepting that politician will be a phony. They shouldn't be applying for a job in such case.
Rand Paul isn't a phony and neither was Ron Paul. Jim Jordan isn't a phony. MTG is real.
We have genuine politicians and statesmen there. I don't want a career politician who'll tow the uniparty line and kill the populist movement.
quote:
Got him now
I will pick him over any Democrat, but I'm looking at a career politician when I take a close look at RDS.
Ivy league, navy lawyer/pros, congressman, governor.
As congressman he voted in line with party RINOs.
I thought maybe the guy was a decorated fighter who put his life on the line. But then again, McCain is an ugly example of how a combat "vet", albeit and unsuccessful one can be such a crap leader.

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.
https://abovethelaw.com/2022/08/being-a-lawyer-is-basically-the-same-as-being-a-fighter-pilot-according-to-ron-desantis/
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.

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.

That's the big worry.
Another Ivy League, non-combat vet, congressman, then governor.
And he voted with the swamp steadily prior to MAGA reform.

Two simple questions that I doubt you'll answer.
Are you an American?
Do you want to see Russia take over Ukraine?
Losers in a bubble need an occasional influx of reality. But I don't want to feed you trolls too much.
Yes, I'm an American. I don't care about Ukraine, but after 10 months of the war and sending money to them and watching that rat looking bastard begging for money,
I hope Russia turns Ukraine into a parking lot and Ukrianians flood into Poland which should be a good deal entertaining. Russia takes the East, Poland takes the West. Ukraine is left with a demilitarized spec of land we never have to hear about or send money to.
Best case scenario.
