On Friday, CNN’s Anderson Cooper reminded viewers that Cruz never served in the army — despite once claiming in an interview to have “considered it a number of times†during college.
“I bet he does wish he served because it would be better for him politically now, but spent a lot of time in college imagining himself in uniform? Well, maybe that but probably not to serve,†said Cooper.
“When somebody doesn’t serve I don’t know that it’s a great idea to be attacking people who did serve,†the anchor agreed.
Ret. Lt Gen. Mark Hertling agreed.
“When I hear someone says, ‘I really would have liked to join the army,’ you know that’s a tell that they really didn’t think about it,†he told Cooper.
When the “opportunity presented itself to join…he thought about it and thought better of it,†says @andersconcooper after Sen. Ted Cruz mocked a “woke, emasculated†military.
