This is a textbook example of the Left’s thorough ignorance of anything military. And it’s what vets, like me, refer to as
#StolenValor.
Amanpour, noted progressive and CNN useful idiot, attacked
@PeteHegseth’s rank during his service in the Army. Pete was promoted to the rank of Major and served in combat as a SOLDIER.
Amanpour embeded as a correspondent during the Gulf War. To accommodate the press, the Pentagon assigned journalists the ADMINISTRATIVE rank of major for access and billeting arrangements. Nothing more.
In her attack on Pete, she equates his rank to hers.
From a vet’s perspective, that’s revolting and untrue.
@amanpour couldn’t carry Pete’s sweat-stained boot socks much less the responsibility of leading men in combat. To portend to do so is both insulting and illustrative.
To Democrats and anti-American media, you don’t get it and you never will.
Out.
