Ever notice how Ronald Dion DeSantis, Governor of Florida, carefully connects himself with the Navy Seals during the Iraq War? Being a Yale-educated lawyer, he knows all the words to make the listener thing he was a seal. During the debate he said he was attached to the Seal Team Six. In reality, he was one of the Commander’s legal advisors. He never got closer than a group picture to be used when he ran for some office later.

The photo of him in dress white Navy uniform shows a chest of eleven medals. One is the bronze medal which he got for prosecuting over twenty-four cases. I find that despicable because my brother got one in 1945 for an act under fire.

Some of the other awards are the Navy and Marine meritorious service medal, Iraq campaign medal, and the global war on terrorism medal. How did he earn those eleven medals? Ask the awards officer. Oh, DeSantis WAS the awards Officer.

Some of his other jobs in the Navy were just as dangerous as his time with the Seals. He was a Physical Fitness Coordinator, Recruiting Officer, and a courageous Assistant Urine Analysis Coordinator. He was a Scheduler and Administrator in Gitmo. It was a tough life on its tennis courts and golf courses. I wonder how often he had time for that hour flight back home each weekend.

Governor Ron is just another pampered, ambitious, glory seeker who has planned his political life since his days in Yale. Being a JAG Officer in the Navy reserves is a long way from Beau Biden and others who joined just to fight to defend America, earning their medals for courage under fire. Is he just another flim flam man?
