Richard Blumenthal's claim to have served in Vietnam has put a spotlight on politicians' discussions of their military service, and I'm pointed to a pretty dramatic boast from Rep. Mark Kirk, the U.S. Naval Reserve officer running for Senate in Illinois.
“In my role in the military, I command the war room in the Pentagon," Kirk told a gathering of experts on U.S.-Chinese relations last May (at 4:18 in the video above).
There seems to be an epidemic among Democrats of claiming bragging rights that they don't really have. We now have a Democratic candidate who, although he does have military intelligence experience, embellishes it by saying that he commands the war room at the Pentagon. LOL.
What will we have next? I know - A Democratic candidate who claims to have invented war? Actually, I am sure that, after November, there may be a Democrat or two who will take credit for Republcans beating them..... Nah - They will blame their loss on Republicans distorting their distortions. LMAO.

Seriously, though, I think he is about to start bragging that he defeated the Klingon Empire. :mrgreen:
Is it just me or is this thread ripe for startrek jokes?
that's not what it's called.Well, I command his mother.

Danarhea,
Mark Kirk is a Republican.
Kirk's post puts him "in charge of the intelligence section of the alert center -- the information 'war room'" -- and is responsible for contacting the [Director of Intelligence] when necessary," his campaign said.
Kirk "is regularly called upon to brief the JCS Vice Chairman or Director of Operations," the campaign said.
We all know that war was invented by Al Gore!
