    After the El Paso attack, Mayor Pete invoked 9/11 and said he "learned a lot [in Afghanistan] that sadly will be applicable here at home, too." Brains are so broken by endless war that it's often the only frame of reference these people have for addressing social problems

        He was using a disingenuous attempt at elevating his position using a weaksauce legitimization of his experience basis. Everyone does it to one degree or another to reinforce their position. That's why/how media pick contributors, no? Almost as good as bringing made up stats...

        I wonder if he learned that having a bunch of religious ??maniacs with guns pitted against another by bunch of religious maniacs with more and bigger guns is a no win nightmare for everyone except weapons oligarchs?

        since his centrist economic positions not only fail to address but actually nurture the root causes of gun violence, his only play on this issue is to imply without getting specific that his experience pushing paper in the military will be helpful somehow. it’s very cynical

        Also, wasn’t Mayor Pete pretty much just a driver? Did he ever interact with Afghanis or front line soldiers there?

        Patrol neighborhoods in armored vehicles? Build blast walls? I guess we’re heading in that direction anyway.

        This is kind of troubling. I would like to see the context. They say he was a driver but I also read Navy Intelligence officer.
