I love Ilario. I read his book several years ago; he is one tough dude.
I encourage you all to pick up the DVD “Warriors in Their Own Words” produced by the LOOC Foundation and narrated by Kelsey Grammer. It features Lt. Pantano, USMC prominently.
If his campaign continues to pick up steam, just wait for the leftists to attack Ilario based on his past - actually, they’ve been doing it already, but just wait for it to go national. They’re just dying to expose their own hatred for our military.
