I never noticed until today, when Pete has been in the news so much – are those his military medals he wears on his suit all the time? Is that the type of thing he is allowed to do if he is not in uniform? I’ve never served so I don’t know.

I don’t mean to denigrate his service: I’m sure he earned that (single) row of medals. But I couldn’t help but notice that all the generals he was lecturing – yes, even the ones with melanin and/or vaginas – had many, many more rows of them. You would think the lecture on the “warrior ethos” would be going the other way
