Military Service Does Matter!


Cleveland Plain Dealer columnist Mark Naymik asks why the credentials of Republican senatorial candidate Josh Mandel’s military service matters (Mandel makes military service key to his run, but why does it matter? 09/09/2012). Through Sullivan’s eye it DOES matter.

While Mandel certainly brings many other talents to the race, his Marine Corps service denotes discipline, character and obvious leadership abilities. Additionally, because of his overseas service in Iraq, courage. It also tells this veteran he is proud to be an American and a veteran. Senator Brown, who he is opposing, cannot say the same things.
