From Wiki:
“Ocasio-Cortez graduated cum laude[26] from Boston University in 2011 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in both international relations and economics.”
Heck of a job BU, heck of a job.
Sad commentary on the absence of actual thought in the minds of voters who put this clown in the House of Representatives.
From Wiki:
“Ocasio-Cortez graduated cum laude[26] from Boston University in 2011 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in both international relations and economics.”
She didn’t. She graduated with a degree in IR and a minor in economics. IR programs commonly incorporate a 4 course sequence in economics. She added a couple of economics electives and they called it a ‘minor’. Grade inflation is so wretched at selective institutions that half the student body will graduate cum laude. I’m wagering the components of her GPA that put her over the top weren’t in the economics courses.
And look what she did over the next seven years. She flitted from one job and one project to the next and learned no trade other than bartending. She and Riley have never married or produced any children. She’s a mess, and she’s sitting in Congress.
Imagine, if you will, a World where the one person with all the answers for all the nation’s problems has as her main qualification – she was fired form her barmaid gig.

I have great admiration for Dan Crenshaw’s achievements, the obstacles that he has overcome and his courage. However, he is now a legislator and I would like to see more about how he applies his talent to some of the challenges that conservatives are facing.
I would like to see his experiences in war balanced by his articulating an understanding Just War Theory, his insight for the extrication from endless occupations, the Trump application of economic pressure to avoid wars, or the challenges posed by a growing and more militaristic and aggressive China.
his insight for the extrication from endless occupations,
We withdrew 97% of our troop force from Iraq at the end of 2011. Can you define ‘endless’? We had in 2017 about 9,000 troops in Iraq. That might be sufficient to subdue a couple of recalcitrant provinces if we were actually using them as an occupation force. Is there some other country you had in mind?

Excellent point. Perhaps defining occupation is as important as defining endless.
Although we have less forces in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria our forces are still occupying parts of those nations.
If left to the Democrats or the Republican Establishment we will have military bases in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria a long as we have had military bases in Germany, Japan or Korea. I recall John McCain saying that he would like to keep US forces in Iraq for 100 years.
Rep. Crenshaw is on the record as supporting continued military involvement in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria. I see his point that there are advantages of having special forces engaged in foreign counter terrorism operations. However, our President was elected on a platform to withdraw from engagements in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria but his efforts have been resisted by deep state officials in the federal civil service and military.
We’re only now ending our 75 year occupation of Germany because the Poles have invited us to occupy them instead.
