Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

From his experience, he said, there would be no reason to cover up a wound in the name of protecting platoon mates because nobody would be investigating the origin of a bullet from a firefight. And in any case, he said, a ricochet during a firefight would be considered a hazard of battle, not a scandal.
From my time in Iraq this is also how I would see it. No one would have asked where the bullet came from. They would have just treated the wound and put him in for a purple heart. And trying to keep a bullet wound secret in a war zone would be next to impossible. Your battle buddies would immediately notice. Also can you imagine trying to keep it uninfected? Good luck with that.
Men were real men back then. They didn't complain about "bullets" and the libs hadn't invented "infections" or "COVID" yet.
Back then, you'd just rub a little dirt on it, die, and later run for office to avenge yourself.
AVENGE YOURSELF!!!
\s (if it weren't obvious)
Didn't they already debunk this with official records from the military and call him on his bullshit?
Yeah, and he claimed to have covered it up so that it wouldn't be in his military records. So now they've got witnesses to both time periods, one saying he wasn't shot while in the military, and the other saying that they heard him admit to shooting himself.
Huh weird seeing my tiny state's politicians in the spotlight like this lol. Tim Sheehy is, as we like to say, "all hat and no cattle".
No.
The answer is always no
