Arguing that someone is claiming "fake valor" over having said they worked at a McDonald's one summer is, indeed, DEEPLY weird.
Especially when your running mate is making so much of his "career" as a Tactical Typist for the Marine Corps.
@mcfate it would be weird if his 40 year old running mate wasn't in the military. 9/11/2001 my co-ed dorm was empty, they dropped out to sign up for the military.
Not as weird as trying to pump a four-year "military career" spent behind a Selectric.
