Look into AG Wilson’s service, Congressman Wilson service, Mark Sanford’s service. They all got similar treatment and they all were promoted quickly.

Look at that nitwit Michael haley. Geez.

He spent a month in Indiana and the balance of the year in Helmand province, Afghanistan. I don’t see how anyone could knock that. Have any of you been to Indiana?

You do know those robocalls have political exemptions/loopholes right? As long as it has a “number” on caller ID they still can call. That’s not Joes fault, any one republicans, or any one democrats, that’s juts the full systems fault. There was never going to be a 100% total do not call list or else the pollsters couldn’t call to do useless polls so the politicians found their loophole. so don’t just blame lying Joe, blame lying Obama, lying Bush, lying Clinton, or in other words blame them all.

more on that. a quote from the website as to the loophole

“Your organization does not engage in any “telemarketing” or “telephone solicitation” activities, as defined by the FTC and FCC, respectively. For example, survey calls and political polling calls are not covered by the definition of “telemarketing” or “telephone solicitations.” An organization that places ONLY these types of calls may be an Exempt Organization”

I don’t disagree with most of this.

That said, the military has a long history of creating flexible circumstances for all public figures. This is absolutely, 100% no different than any other politician that also serves in the military. Every single one of them has a peculiar set of rules that allows them to “wear both hats.”

Thus, while I understand how the average civilian could feel compelled to poke fun at the ambiguity, I’m telling you this is par for the course for every single state or federal public interest figure. Ergo, your “lack of participation” in the service further highlights your ignorance on the fact that Graham is no different than any other.

(Of final note, I detest the guy and disagree with him on 99% of the issues. Therefore, I do not defend him at all. I’m simply pointing out your hypocrisy on attempting to “poke” at his lack of service)

I thought I recently saw a picture of Graham in his uniform with the insignia of a full bird Colonel. To be advanced from O-5 to O-6 usually requires extra training and military courses that Graham has never availed himself. I am guessing that the Air Force promoted him based on his track record on defense and his influence in the future.
It has been a long time since I have been in the military, and things could have changed.

Hey, FITS, why not go after “MARINE” John Courson? He talks about it as if he was a MARINE all of his life, wears it on his shirts & sleeve. But, methinks the closest this peckerhead ever got to “real ” Marines was when he had to go thru basis training at PI. I also believe he did this was to preclude him for serving in the hot, rainy, humid jungles of ‘NAM’. He, like Bill Clinton and others of their ilk ought to be ashamed of themselves. But, shameless, they are.

Or the same Hillary the CLAIMED she has nothing to hide (or “what difference does it make” (actual quote by her) yet destroyed thousand and thousands of emails at the same time so they could be verified or read by off of her illegal server?

I called BS on Graham’s military duty when he was running for Senator. He implied that he was a Gulf I vet when actually he stayed stateside serving in the SC Air Guard as a JAG but the shit-eating right wingnuts put their hands over their ears and voted for him anyway
But to be no BS “fair and balanced” (unlike Faux News) a couple of things need to be pointed out:
1.. Graham ain’t a soldier, he is an airman (show you how very little FITS knows of the military)
2. The military favors by way of being a politician that Graham has received pale by comparison to FITS’ ass-hole buddy Mark “Shirker” Sanfraud who used his political influence to get a commission as an officer in the USAF Reserves.
At least Graham has pulled a few deployments in the Theater of Operations – unlike that shirker Sanfraud who managed to get a gig where he don’t have to go overseas – period………….
As far as I know that puke is still “serving” as an officer in the USAF Reserves (which is a disgrace to the uniform in itself)

One other fact concerning Graham that I forgot to post:
Graham served in the active duty Air Force for a number of years as an Air Force JAG before becoming a politician. I believe he served in Germany for a few years if my memory serves correct.
He has not spent ALL of his military service as a reservist or Guardsman.
I’m not a Graham supporter but the truth needs be first and foremost.

A guy goes to the proctologist for a routine examination. When the doctor gets him into position, he’s quite surprised to find a piece of string dangling from his ass. He pulls gently on the string and out pops a lovely bouquet of flowers.

“Do you know I just pulled a dozen roses out of your rectum?” asks the astonished doctor.

“Is that so?” said his patient. “Who’re they from?”
