  Wow, it was so close to being true that I didn't find it funny. I found it horrifying!
  
  The part I didn't find true was where he said that he served in the military for the shortest amount of time possible in a position that would never see combat and they flashed a photo of him in a Marine uniform. To the best of my knowledge, there are so few positions in the Marines that would never see combat that I can't think of any. The ones that might exist are going to be held by Marines that lost something important and they're trying to make a position for them.
  
  I'm encouraged when I see a Vet running at all with any service! When you lose the first 4 years of your life that politicians use to start their networking because you're stuck under a 75 pound ruck and a 23 pound machine gun, many Vets find they can never catch up after they get out. Those that try find it difficult to associate with the networks vital to the political positions. Networking isn't the system they're used to and Vets tend to not excel at a certain type of affection required in some of these networks.
  
  I know, it was a joke, but so close to the truth that it struck a nerve.
  
  Have you ever seen any politician in a group of Veterans? The politician sweats like crazy. If questions are asked, the sweat really starts pouring.
