[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just dumb poor white trash from Appalachia who enlisted on a whim as a teen during a hot war and gets the cushiest desk post there is. What are the odds.[/quote]

There are no “desk jobs” for lower enlisted Marines on deployment.  [/quote]

I suggest those of you trashing his four-year military service read this.  No, he did not see combat - as he VERY CLEARLY states in this piece.  He did, however, learn a lot of very valuable lessons that it appears many of you have never learned.

He very clearly states he was attached to units, when on missions and was in dangerous situations in unsecured areas. He got lucky that is wasn’t injured or killed, but he was most definitely in harms way and putting his life on the line. I worked as an active duty nurse and we had causalities from all different units and MOSs, not just infantry, including some of own nurses. So take a seat and stay in your lane. [/quote]

PP here and I agree with you.  I think you misunderstood what I was saying.  Trolls have claimed that Vance made the claim that he "had seen combat," when in reality he had not.  I was providing that link to show that he never made that claim - ever - and that in fact, he's very open about what his assignments were.  I agree that he was in harm's way merely by being in the military.  IOW, he never claimed to be anything he was not, unlike what the trolls would have everyone believe.[/quote]

JD Vance was a public affairs REMF.  He mostly did desk duty and the occasional photo op.[/quote]
