He tells us all about his Marine Corps service in Iran. True, he's a Marine which means he survived boot camp.

Then, he became a USMC journalist and spent his time in Iran in the rear with the beer. In Vietnam, he would have been known as a REMF -- Rear Echelon Mother Fucker.

Senator Duckworth flew Blackhawk helicopters in Iraq, was trying to extract wounded when her helicopter was shot down -- she lost both legs and some use of one arm.

J.D. Vance is not his real name and his book is 99% lie.
