Duffel Blog endorses Tulsi Gabbard: A symbol of our batshit crazy veterans

Filed · 1551

Americans increasingly respect and revere our nation's veterans, and after two decades of non-stop wars many veterans have returned the favor and moved on from military service to public service. With that in mind, here are Duffel Blog's endorsements for the 2020 presidential primaries.

Democratic Primary: Duffel Blog Endorses Tulsi Gabbard

This year the Democratic Party has not one, but two veterans running for president: Mayor Pete Buttigieg of Indiana and Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaiʻi.

Pete Buttigieg has several qualities that Duffel Blog is looking for in a candidate: He looks absolutely delicious in a Navy uniform (not quite Tom Cruise in Top Gun but definitely Tom Cruise in Top Gun 2), and if that's not enough, he's the only veteran who we're confident will never be charged with sexually harassing a female subordinate.
