MAGA senator slammed for claiming he's done special ops outside DOD
"MAGA-aligned U.S. Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, appeared on Fox News last week to defend President Trump's decision to attack Iran, and said: "War is ugly. It smells bad. If anybody has ever been there and been able to smell the war that's happening around you and taste it and fill it in your nostrils and hear it, it's something that you'll never forget."
Mullin, who has never served in the U.S. military, was slammed by veterans including U.S. Rep. Pat Ryan (D-NY), a retired Captain in the U.S. Army who served in the Iraq War, who replied: "Hey @SenMullin, what the actual [expletive] are you talking about? Did I miss the part of your bio where you served in combat (or served in uniform at all??). Call of Duty doesn't count.""
