Hey Rep. Jim Banks, can I call you Jim....

Indiana Republican Jim Banks' attack on Gen. Milley blows up in his face in spectacular fashion

By Sarah K. Burris- Commentary
Published August 01, 2021

Fox News host Laura Ingraham and Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) went after Gen. Mark Milley during a QuakeMedia show. While Ingraham has never served a day in uniform, Banks should know better as a Navy captain.

It isn't the first time either of the right-wing nutters have attacked the high-ranking general. While Gen. Milley has seven rows of medals and honors on his chest, it appears Banks earned the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, so good for him. Ingraham may have been given a participation trophy at some point in her life, but it isn't listed on her IMDB page.

Banks is being triggered by the idea that soldiers are being "taught" that racism is bad.

An entire career from a Navy Captain.

And he was a supply officer; important but not exactly quality credentials in publicly calling out the CJCS.

His OCONUS duties were all of 6-months. Still, an officer since 2012 with time in Iraq and all he has to show for it is one service award?
