And that\u2019s what we got to do now, because, you know, typically, veterans are in this fight for the country, for the veteran of the country, and not for themselves. And unfortunately, in our politics today, unfortunately, in D.C. today, we see too many career politicians whose entire lives have been about politics, and have been about serving themselves and enriching themselves, serving their careers, serving their legacies, doing whatever it takes for them to climb the political ladder, rather than serve the community, serve the people, serve the country. And so, most veterans have a history and a track record of serving this country or fighting for this country. And that\u2019s what we and I plan to do in D.C. And I think when a lot of us get there, we\u2019re going to. We\u2019re actually going to get a lot of things done for this country for once.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued to talk about why being a veteran helps prepare people for being a better member of Congress and a candidate by mentioning that \u201cThe\u00a0Army teaches you a lot about the world, [and] about yourself.\u201d But you also have to know how the economy works and how businesses work, which he has after receiving his MBC from the\u00a0Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania in 2018.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We just launched our first TV ad!
