If you didn't hate Dan Crenshaw's guts before, you should now

#10  I have no opinion on Dan Crenshaw — I don’t live in his district.

But for what it’s worth here is my take on that video: There are five Navy SEALs in Congress as of the 2022 election — sworn in in January 2023 — out of 80 military veterans altogether (there are 17 more vets in the Senate):

Elijah Crane of Arizona (elected 2022)
Reps. Morgan Luttrell of Texas (elected 2022)
Derrick Van Orden of Wisconsin (elected 2022)
Dan Crenshaw of Texas (elected 2018)
Rep. Ryan Zinke of Montana (elected 2014).

Why did Chief Petty Officer’s brother target Rep. Crenshaw to demand support from instead of Rep. Zinke, also a retired SEAL, but who had four years of experience in Washington at that point instead of being a newbie? The Gallaghers’ desperation was legitimate — it sounds like the team was fill of personnel problems, and it got ugly and political to the point where President Trump felt it necessary to exercise his command authority — but based on the description in the video, Congressman Crenshaw reacted as badly as most people would to being browbeaten by someone who needed a favour.

#8  Crenshaw was completely right about Tucker Carlson. This linked video is just some enlisted guy shitting on an officer. Big fucking deal.

I've been following Rantburg since 2002. You guys are going down hill mentally.

#7  #5 I agree, MM. Just ask Richard Blumenthal (D-CT).

#6  I think a lot of you fuckers who have been posting on Rantburg throughout the years have lost your way. You are as much of the problem as the left extremists.

#5  It should probably be illegal to trade on military service as an elected official.

It would be even better if the electorate discouraged it.

#1  I liked when he did the Man of the People don't drink Bud Light, opened his fridge, and every other premium gourmet ice cream A/B product was in it.
