'Where did you smell war?' Markwayne Mullin grilled on overseas travel by Gary Peters at hearing

[QueerDuck]

Why would a junior Congressman HAVE TO go through SERE training? (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape...an MMA Plumber...?!?!?) This is how you get a liar, if it's classified, why is he making public statements about a secret "war" if it's classified?

Markwayne Mullin faced questioning on tied to overseas travel and past public comments Senator Gary Peters during his confirmation hearing on March 18. Mullin is vying to replace Kristi Noem, who was fired by President Donald Trump at the start of the month.

4. Classified?

TV show - Criminal Minds... Guy at the bar impressing the babes. Tells number one he is an FBI agent. She takes him over to meet numbers two and three. They are all giddy and impressed. Number two asks if he can show them his FBI badge. He implies 'no'. Number three says - 'classified huh?' He implies 'yes'...
Number two whips out her FBI badge and asks 'does it look like this?'
Number three does the same, 'or this'?
Number one, 'or this'?...
He kinda slinks away.

6. Classified missions have the advantage that you cannot talk about them while you brag about them.

The Associated Press published a report last week exposing a congressional candidate in Ohio for misrepresenting his military record. JR Majewski, who “presents himself as an Air Force combat veteran who deployed to Afghanistan after the 9/11 terrorist attacks,” did no such thing, according to public records obtained by the AP.

They indicate Majewski never deployed to Afghanistan but instead completed a six-month stint helping to load planes at an air base in Qatar, a longtime US ally that is a safe distance from the fighting.
