WashingtonFreeBeacon: U.S. Senate candidate Jon Keyser is taking a break from the campaign trail in Colorado to report for duty in the U.S. Air Force Reserves.
Keyser, an intelligence officer who served two tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, leaves for Florida on Saturday where he will assist Southern Command’s counterterrorism efforts.
Keyser resigned his seat in the Colorado state House of Representatives and his corporate lawyer position at the law firm Hogan Lovells for the chance to challenge Democratic incumbent Sen. Michael Bennet this November. read more
Spent some time in the Intel/Recon/Recce community. I still snicker at the term “Intelligence Officer.”
(But then I was senior enlisted.)
I have never liked it when members of the Reserve run for office. They get to use it to help them run. Then if the time comes to vote on whether or not to go to war, they can vote for the war without fear of being put into danger or hardship.
Do you really think Miss Lindsay would have been the Super Hawk he was if he was ever in danger of being without hair conditioner, let alone mortar fire.
Sorry, I don’t see these reservists as people who should be revered. I look at them as naked opportunists.
I’d vote for a Reservist over a Clinton or Sanders any day.
