Military service

In 2014, Buttigieg began his deployment at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan.
Buttigieg joined the U.S. Navy Reserve through the direct commission officer (DCO) program and was sworn in as an ensign in naval intelligence in September 2009.[59] In 2014, he took a seven-month leave during his mayoral term to deploy to Afghanistan.[60][61][62] While there, Buttigieg was part of a unit assigned to identify and disrupt terrorist finance networks. Part of this was done at Bagram Air Base, but he was also an armed driver for his commander on more than 100 trips into Kabul. Buttigieg has jokingly referred to this role as "military Uber", because he had to watch out for ambushes and explosive devices along the roads and ensure that the vehicle was guarded.[63] In order to better communicate with the local Afghans, he learned some Dari (a dialect of the Persian language). Buttigieg was awarded the Joint Service Commendation Medal[5] and resigned his commission from the U.S. Navy Reserve in 2017

If I were to vote in a presidential

I want that too...it is called politics. Sanders wanted everyone but Warren to stay in so? Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #45
Pete's supporters are relatively moderate IronLionZion Mar 2020 #16
But Bernie is his supporters' second choice kcr Mar 2020 #18
I find the second choice stuff to be BS...no way Sanders who doubled down on M4A will get Pete's Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #47
