"War is ugly. It smells bad. And if anybody has ever been there and been able to smell the war that's happening around you, and taste it, and feel it in your nostrils, and hear it, it's something that you'll never forget. And it's ugly."
"Rep. Pat Ryan (D-NY), a West Point graduate and Army intelligence officer who served two combat tours in Iraq, posted a scathing tweet asking Mullin what the actual f*ck are you talking about? Did I miss the part of your bio where you served in combat (or served in uniform at all??)"
Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) drew significant criticism for comments made during a Fox News interview about U.S. military operations in Iran. While discussing President Trump's handling of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's death, Mullin provided a graphic sensory description of war, detailing its smell, taste, and sounds. Critics pointed out that Mullin has never served in the military or experienced combat firsthand, making his vivid war narrative appear inauthentic. The backlash intensified when Mullin mistakenly referred to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth as President Hegseth. Representative Pat Ryan, a West Point graduate and Iraq combat veteran, publicly challenged Mullin's credibility, questioning his military service background.
