If this passes, every future Republican candidate is going to claim to be a former Navy SEAL.

@JoshuaHolland Like Tom Cotton claiming he was a ranger because he attended ranger school (not the same thing, confusingly enough for those of us who never served.)

Golly. You'd think they'd be proud of their service. You know, like Madison Cawthorn. 🤣

@JoshuaHolland @mmasnick Any special forces gig is probably a bridge too far except for idiots or pathological liars, the alumni of those groups have their own networks/forums which scour the Web for anyone even saying they went through the selection process and they swiftly descend on any false claimants. I’d have to say they’re generally non-partisan, they consider Special Operations a higher calling.

@JoshuaHolland which, ironically, would eventually undermine the value of military service for political careers.
