Wounded Afghan war vet, PA congressional candidate: Biden's botched withdrawal 'ripped off a lot of scabs'
Fox News
A veteran of the war in Afghanistan and Pennsylvania Republican congressional candidate described how the execution of President Biden's withdrawal strategy "ripped off a lot of scabs", as he recounted the incident that wounded him to Fox Nation's "Tucker Carlson Today".
"I couldn't do [law enforcement] today, let's put it that way. I don't know why anybody would go today and sign up to be a cop-- hats off to those men and women that do. The left and the mainstream media has just vilified them-- has vilified that career, has vilified their profession," Daniels told host Tucker Carlson. "I wanted to stick up for the people who couldn't stick up for themselves." Daniels recounted how, at age 35, he sought to join the Marine Corps but was turned down because the maximum age of enlistment was 27. "Try next door, though, the Army might take you," he recalled. "So I walk into the Army recruiter and the two sergeants are in there. They stand up, and they say, ‘how are you doing, sir? Whose father, are you?' I said 'no, guys, I'm here to enlist.'"More Related News
