Look he didn’t have a picture of himself in Afghanistan that didn’t show him committing a war crime. Cut him some slack.

Nor did he have any which weren't quasi-staged for PR for his post-USMC political aspirations, apparently.

DoD Investigating Former Army Officer Who Used Arlington Cemetery Footage in Campaign Ad

quote:

Another NCO who served with Earls said he is confused why the ad leans so heavily on his military service, or why it is relevant to his district, given he has never deployed overseas and got out of the service relatively quickly. Evidence is mixed on any advantages former service members might have in election.

"I'm looking at his site. … I'm not gonna act like I'm a big politics guy … but I can't even really tell he's running for office, or where. It's all about him, not about the place he's running. You can see the ego problems. … His whole campaign is about minimal service in Virginia for an election in Georgia," an NCO stationed at Arlington National Cemetery told Military.com on the condition of anonymity.

quote:

"He was supposed to be my upper-class mentor at West Point when I was a plebe," a former cadet said. "He sat me down at the mess hall, asked me how I was, and told me to buy one of the T-shirts he was selling to fund his Everest climb."

During the climb, Earls lost his goggles and shared a pair with a Sherpa who developed snow blindness and nearly fell off the mountain, according to reporting from ABC News.

Noted Idiot and Ohio Senate candidate Josh Mandel posted an ad about how important The Black People are:

...and may have...well...I'll let you have a look:

But never mind he might've had his face Photoshopped over that of a Black Marine and hoped nobody'd catch it. Did y'all know he was a Marine? And served Two Tours In Iraq? Because he'll tell you incessantly.

Oh they're just obscured? Fair enough.
I thought he was the only dude walking around with his nametag showing, while the rest of the group didn't for whatever weird reason.
Wait, is it also considered good practice to obscure the "Marines" nametape part? Why?

It could just be he handed the photo off to his PR people and said "hey put this up on my social media. Blur everyone's name but mine and maybe touch it up a bit"

I'm getting powerful veteran energy from this passage I just read for an essay I'm working on. It has to do with the 50th anniversary of Gettysburg in 1913.

Simpson, John A. “The Cult of the ‘Lost Cause.’” Tennessee Historical Quarterly 34, no. 4 (1975): 350–61. posted:

Feeble veterans presented a problem to the planners of the reunion. The oldest and youngest were 112 and 61 years old respectively (both Northerners), and the majority of veterans were in their seventies. The Red Cross set up a field hospital and treated patients for such ailments as sunstroke, exhaustion, digestive problems, alcoholism, and diarrhea." There were also 385 Boy Scouts on hand to assist the Red Cross and the aging veterans. Only nine veterans died during the "love feast," and seven were wounded in a knife fight at the Gettysburg Hotel when some ex-Confederates abused the reputation of Abraham Lincoln.

It was more a comment about how there's so much to unpack about the way black men are portrayed in interracial porn if you think about it for even a couple moments.
