Stolen Valor runs with several Democrat candidates for higher office. They use military service as a resume builder not out of patriotism. Good photos to compare Gavin's real military service experience to "No, I won't go. I will retire and get a guard pension." And, he still got elected by the Democrat machine Governor. Go figure!
Thus is Minnesota politics. They have a long history of electing left-wing populists, from Hubert Humphrey to Paul Wellstone. Much of that used to come from the prairies west of the Twin Cities, but their progressivism is intensely concentrated now in Minneapolis and St. Paul, parts of which are called Little Mogadishu. The tide may be starting to turn.
