DoD Investigating Former Army Officer Who Used Arlington Cemetery Footage in Campaign Ad

Six years. Bulk of it at Arlington...

"Another NCO who served with Earls said he is confused why the ad leans so heavily on his military service, or why it is relevant to his district, given he has never deployed overseas and got out of the service relatively quickly. Evidence is mixed on any advantages former service members might have in election.

"I'm looking at his site. … I'm not gonna act like I'm a big politics guy … but I can't even really tell he's running for office, or where. It's all about him, not about the place he's running. You can see the ego problems. … His whole campaign is about minimal service in Virginia for an election in Georgia," an NCO stationed at Arlington National Cemetery told Military.com on the condition of anonymity. "Aren't these [candidates] supposed to show off doing community projects or shaking hands with [business] owners or something?""

It is strange if his campaign site has nothing about his policies or what he plans to do for the district and it's all about him. Sounds like someone wants attention.

I have been told by civilians I never served. How do you fight with stupid people like that?
