"War is ugly, smells bad, and if anybody's ever been there, and been able to smell the war that's happened 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. And fortunately, you have, President Hegseth - or I say, 'President Hegseth' - Secretary [of Defense Pete] Hegseth that is - got a great relationship with President Trump."
"Hey @SenMullin, what the actual f**k are you talking about? Did I miss the part of your bio where you served in combat (or served in uniform at all??). Call of Duty doesn't count."
Sen. Markwayne Mullin appeared on Fox News to discuss military action against Iran, describing war using sensory language—claiming it smells bad, tastes unpleasant, and sounds ugly. He referenced Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's military background as credible support for his position. Rep. Pat Ryan, a Democratic congressman and Iraq War veteran with two combat tours, publicly challenged Mullin on social media, questioning his authority to speak about war given his lack of military service or combat experience. Ryan sarcastically noted that video game experience does not qualify as military service, highlighting the disconnect between Mullin's descriptive rhetoric and his actual military background.
