I’ve never been in the military.
But if you are running for office, here are my thoughts:
• Don’t accuse others of not being in combat when you ALSO never saw combat
• Don’t lie because you wrote a book that details what you actually did
• Don’t imply other’s service is less honorable than your own
• Don’t pretend you are a better soldier
• Don’t use others who have no first hand knowledge to be your mouthpieces for attack
• Don’t pretend you are the voice for all veterans.
Oh, I like this...

I am cautiously optimistic. If anyone can blow an election with 90 days to go, the Democrats can.
Priceless.
Yep, it's a rush. I work for a large, independent newspaper chain just outside Chicago (39 small papers). I'm IT (digital media) but credentialed. Yep, it's a rush.
All the people at the Vance rally are media; print, video, TV/radio, and pool-credentialed press.
There are very few real (for lack of a better term) people there.

I wasn't alive when Paris was liberated (25 Aug. '44), but I sure would have loved to have been there. There was temporary but overwhelming joy in the midst of chaos and suffering. The war wasn't over by any means, but everyone could feel it would be.
This is what it feels like today.
All wars aren't fought on the battlefield.

Make sure you get all your paperwork --𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙤𝙛 𝙞𝙩. I spent 5 years in healthcare information management; paper can be made to disappear. There's a whole lot of "cover your ass" in medicine, especially when it comes to drugs.
I'm an atheist, but these folks are doin' god's work if anyone is...
Yeah? Where's my pony? I want a pony!
When I was a kid, I lived in Phoenix, and belonged to a model rocket club. Our "meetings" were in a huge church designed by Wright.
