Not, he's not. He doesn't brag about his military service any more than I do or millions of other vets. He mentions it and acknowledges it. Know the difference? If you never served, you probably don't.

He's just following in John "Swiftboat" Kerry's foot steps.

As an average joe, when I hear someone boast about their "military experience," I picture that individual spending an significant amount of time out on the front line with boots and helmets on flying jets, driving tanks, throwing grenades, providing medical care, etc.

Now Richard Ojeda, *THAT'S* someone who has plenty of room to brag about their military experience.

And actually, I work with a ton of former military folks. Most of them don't go around throwing their experience in everyone's face, even though they probably had more front line experience than this guy.

Pete B. is quickly replacing "beh toe" as the "outsider" darling of the Democrat party.

Wink WoW! Pete B. is drawing larger crowds than any other Democrat

Pete B. finally announces. Crowd for his rally is far far larger than those for the other Democrats. And keep in mind, it was cold & raining too.

(not surprising, given that we are talking about Democrats, some alleged "secret" tapes have surfaced)

Meh. That's just empty air at the moment. Since they're running neck and neck in fund raising and in the polls, all I can see is both of them got off to a fast start in a very long marathon.

Very true. And who knows who will be the next one?

Pete is getting 1000s to show up at his rallies. Not Trump sized, but certainly larger than any other Democrats. I've time after time. Rallies are great indicators of where the candidates are going. And now he's getting international attention. Sky News is covering him today.



"beh toe"? He's in Charlotte today. Very tiny crowd. Local news barely makes note of it.
