From 2009 to 2017 Buttigieg served as an intelligence officer in the United States Navy Reserve, attaining the rank of lieutenant and deploying to Afghanistan in 2014.

Conservative author David Limbaugh called Mr. Buttigieg’s argument "mind-blowingly dishonest."
"Buttigieg couldn’t be more disingenuous — to blame Democrat enabled lawlessness, violence, and riots on Trump because it’s during his presidency is mindblowingly dishonest," Mr. Limbaugh tweeted. "Will Democrats really try this tactic — to belatedly denounce the violence and [then] try to blame Trump? Wow."
