      Pete Buttigieg joined the military to seek career advancement. This is transparent and obvious. But he still joined. And he was still deployed. And swift boating that is bad and sharing the WSJs swift boating op ed is bad. /1

      2) As an educator, I know a lot of veterans and I know a lot of their stories. There are reasons for listing are myriad, but it’s very rarely that they want to fight. Mostly, they want an education and a good job. Mostly they have not been deployed into combat.

      3) but when you are enlisted, things happen, and it’s not under your control. And allowing the right wing to parse who does and doesn’t count as a real veteran is a mistake. If you think attacking Buttigieg requires diminishing his service, think again.

      I served and Buttigieg's service and context behind serving is an embarrassment. My community of veterans sees him as a joke. And if I milked my own military history to the self-aggrandizing extent he did I'd deserve derision too.

      This is a bit of annoying insistent terminology but Buttigieg was never enlisted, he was commissioned And I think in this context it actually makes a big difference

      In broad terms, enlisting (or being conscripted) is signing away your right to make your own decisions to be told what to do by people who have a commission A commission is a magic piece of paper from the state telling you you can, on the state's behalf, tell people what to do

          It's not the same thing at all, it's an essential opposition, and half of military culture is about that opposition

          So, in the practical and legal sense, Pete never "gave up his freedom" the way an enlisted member of the armed forces did, as we can tell by the fact that he was a mayor and a naval intelligence officer simultaneously

          I was a petty officer third class assigned to attend to Lt. Buttigieg's quarters and ensure he found his accommodations suitable during his six month deployment, which is why my opposition to him is so irrational and personal
