In the Navy

Yet another dumbass politician has lied about his military service. And while his lie is incredibly mystifying because of it's specificity (let's give the dipshit other guy some credit for at least having the brains to vaguely say he served in Vietnam four decades ago - next to this idiot he looks like a genius), it should be a reminder of how much fake importance we put on a candidate's military service. Your having served in the same military alongside any high school graduate last seen puking on his buddy's head during a keg stand means about as little to me as how much you claim to love Jesus. And our idea of military service as litmus test is a false one anyway since, as I brilliantly laid out HERE, at least when it comes to presidents, we really don't give a shit anyway. For fuck's sake, we STILL have no idea what Dubyanuts did for a year and a half in the TX National Guard, and he would've been elected to a third term if he could've run.
