“I like Saccone, but never felt he could carry or overcome that area.”
His platform resembles Trump’s, and Trump will be rallying for him, so maybe he can pull it off and beat the slick pretty boy.
What he doesn't tell you is that his active service lasted less than two years and his overseas assignment was Okinawa (a more cherry picked assignment than Hawaii, according to military people I know). His duties consisted entirely of processing paperwork for military courts. Really dangerous stuff equivalent to the guys who put their lives on the line in Iraq or Afghanistan, right?
Who gets to transfer to the reserves after less than two years on active duty? Someone well connected with the ObaMao administration, that's who.
