Chances are this Special Forced guy has spent the last 3 years fighting side by side with the Kurds to defeat ISIS. Which is something to be proud of. And Special Forced have a real high chance of being killed or injured with no one even hearing about it.

I doubt he has spent way less time reading places like DU or even CNN or FOX than the average Americans. These guys train all the time and due to their skills we have been burning thru them like gas in a race car.

For all we know he is a democrat.
