Buttigieg gave similar reasoning in an interview with The Military Times. “It was just really striking how many teenagers from these rural towns were headed straight to the military as soon as they were old enough,” he told that publication.

 

“And it prompted some soul searching for us. I got to thinking about how many of my Harvard classmates had served and there weren’t many.”

 

 

This sounds like a load of shit. He was a college grad interested in being in the military and didnt go to OTS?

This sounds fake and gay. A medal for what? Probably took as little pride in the "work" he did (didnt do) as his shabby ass fucking uniform.

 

"From 2009 to 2017, he served as a naval intelligence officer in the United States Navy Reserve, attaining the rank of lieutenant. He was deployed to Afghanistan for seven months in 2014 and was awarded the Joint Service Commendation Medal.[5]"

"The third thing that stands out about Buttigieg’s military service is his bizarre brag that he used to travel around Afghanistan in various motor vehicles. Has anyone who has ever served the U.S. military on overseas land not driven around? When he launched his campaign last April he bragged about “119 trips I took outside the wire, driving or guarding a vehicle.” That’s . . . not a thing. There are no such stats. Sorties in aircraft are an official military statistic. Motor-vehicle trips are so routine no one would bother to keep track, any more than someone would log how many times Pete Buttigieg took a shower. No one cares. So Buttigieg himself created this phony statistic. Picture it: He made himself a little Hero’s Log but all he had to put in it was “routine trips.” It’s pathetic. It’s hilarious. It’s apple-polishing, résumé-buffing, box-checking, attention-seeking vaporware. Just like his whole career."

 

Not buying this bullshit.

"Many of us recall the intensive pre-commission training (in my case, four years of ROTC in Connecticut and Advanced Camp with the 82nd Airborne in Fort Bragg) as the most trying intervals of our careers. Others spent four years at Annapolis or West Point. Buttigieg just skipped all of that. He passed a physical. He signed some papers. Voilà. To put this in terms a liberal might understand: Imagine you heard that someone got a “direct diploma” from Harvard but didn’t actually have to do four years of papers and tests. You’d never forget it. You’d probably think of that person primarily as a short-cut specialist for the rest of your life."

 

Buttgags military service = fake AND GAY
