(2,177 posts)appears to be synonymous with surrogates) of other candidates including Biden who make derogatory statements about Sanders, as I am sure there are thousands. However, I would not blame the candidate for the idiotic statements of these people. Doing so and calling this out does nothing but divide potential voters who may chose a democratic ticket.

(67,782 posts)Any question now about the connection between Jacobin Magazine and the Sanders campaign?
Will there be an apology or recant from his Campaign? I think not: "I apologize to nobody..."
From the responses, this one certainly didn't go well at all over on twitter. Start here:

(25,716 posts)with military service photo ops, carefully planning his career.
If I was a Bernie supporter, I wouldn't bring up what's on the resume of someone under forty. Or photo ops.
So Pete deciding to go into public service and join the military instead of going after glamorous high salary consulting jobs and getting rich working for evil corporations is bad? In Opposite World it is!
Someone joining the military because of patriotism is evidently an alien concept to these people, although they should remember that's exactly what their hero Edward Snowden did. Now they're saying Pete's complicit in these "colonial wars," like a war crime.

(4,494 posts)He was not a guy who sat behind a computer. He was out of the vehicle. He took some pretty interesting lessons from that. You can say he was not in direct combat, but he was out there where 99 percent of Americans werent.
Moulton should be ashamed of himself

I am no Bernie fan, but Buttigieg invites valid criticism with his incessant military bragging.

Pete Buttigieg: Some say you are a combat veteran if you have a Combat Action Ribbon (I do not). Others say deploying to a combat zone makes you one. I simply consider myself a veteran, and I'll leave it to others to decide what else to call it.
https://taskandpurpose.com/pete-buttigieg-interview
He is careful not to call himself a combat veteran even as he notes the danger he faced. One of his former competitors for the Democratic nomination, Rep. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts, has drawn a sharp contrast between his four combat tours in Iraq and Buttigiegs service. And a former commanding officer, who said he thinks Buttigieg would be within his rights to say he is a combat veteran, nonetheless questions the use of a rifle in his ads.

and everyone advancing this line of attack should be ashamed of themselves. It's simply despicable.
