      *This guy is just another MAGA fraud, just like his draft dodging leader.*

      *Video of his remarks:* [*https://x.com/i/status/2028534515942166716*](https://x.com/i/status/2028534515942166716)

      „Mullin, a member of the Senate Armed Forces Committee, was discussing the [U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on Iran](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/iran-us-war-latest-updates-israel-trump-riyadh-uk-b2930683.html) when he channelled his inner Lt. Col. Kilgore from *Apocalypse Now* (1979), who famously relished “the smell of napalm in the morning.”

      “War is ugly,” the senator [declared](https://x.com/RonFilipkowski/status/2028541767587352715) authoritatively. “It smells bad. If anybody has ever been there and been able to smell the war that’s happening around you and taste it and fill it in your nostrils and hear it, it’s something that you’ll never forget.“

      “And it’s ugly. And fortunately, you have President [Pete] Hegseth. Sorry, Secretary Hegseth… That has got a great relationship with President [Donald] Trump and President Hegseth’s been there and he’s done that.”

      „Despite accidentally elevating the defense secretary to the presidency twice, it was Mullin presuming to speak for U.S. soldiers that sparked uproar.“

      „Veteran and activist Charlotte Clymer reposted a clip of his comments on X (Twitter) and [told the senator](https://x.com/cmclymer/status/2028664822557012269), “Sir, you were 24 on 9/11. You were 25 when the U.S. illegally invaded Iraq. You were 28 when I enlisted after high school.“

      “You didn’t serve. You were an able-bodied young man who chose to inherit your daddy’s business instead of serving. You need to shut your f***ing mouth.”

      „The Angry Staffer account [responded](https://x.com/Angry_Staffer/status/2028809222884831581) to the same clip with the comment: “Periodic reminder that Mullin was a rancher before he was elected to the Senate. He has no idea what war looks, smells, or tastes like. But he’s fine with sending your kids to die for it.”

      „Also reacting angrily was the campaign group VoteVets, which [said](https://x.com/votevets/status/2028571401033252881): “Sen. Mullin probably thinks war smells like Mountain Dew, couch cushions, and control sweat because *Call of Duty* is the closest he’s ever been to war.”

      „A number of other commentators unkindly shared a photograph of Mullin [allegedly attempting to hide from the would-be insurrectionists who stormed the U.S. Capitol](https://x.com/Walterskol1/status/2028544972299882995) on January 6, 2021, mocking his record of “brave service.”

      „Trump also angered some veterans over the weekend over his apparently flippant attitude towards the [first U.S. troops killed in the skirmishes](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-iran-casualties-democrats-response-b2930010.html), which he described as “the way it is,” leading to criticism from Democrats like Sen. [Tammy Duckworth](https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/tammy-duckworth) and Reps. Jason Crew and Pat Ryan, who [found the phrase callous](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/iran-strikes-us-killed-trump-israel-b2929735.html).“

      Could not be less surprised to see Markwayne Mullen on the other side of this Link. This fucking doofus.

    3. fairoaks2 on

      Mark Wayne is an embarrassment to Oklahoma and our nation. Shameful actions and lack of real leadership.

    4. Ridged_ChiPSS on

      I’m sure all the MAGA Twitter warriors will be the first on the frontlines for this coming ground invasion. Right?

    5. ranchoparksteve on

      What exactly does war smell like? For Trump, is it closer to fried chicken or more like teenage girls.

    6. DHiggsBoson on

      Dude probably hit a girlfriend once in the smoke of some 4th of July fireworks and now believes he’s earned his 10 yard stare.

    7. BlotchComics on

      Mullin being elected to the House and Senate proves that MAGA will vote for the dumbest MFers on earth as long as they are also MAGA.

      He means the smell of shit… You know, because he is a plumber masquerading as a congressman.

      A reminder that Markwayne Mullin is the least educated member of thr Senate and the only one without a four-year degree (he has an Associates Degree in Construction). And he has a tendency to both ad lib and trip over his own feet when pushing administration talking points.

      He has also memorably challenged someone testifying before Congress to a fight when his arguments go awry.

      His father had a plumbing contracting business which he took over and expanded at a relatively young age after his father became ill.

      I pulled ISIS landmines out of mass graves in Sinjar, Iraq. I’d be happy to take him on a field trip, seems like he needs one.

      Isn’t this guy the little bitch photograph hiding scared from his own side in the Capitol on Jan 6th?

    22. SuperstitiousPigeon5 on

      He played paintball once. It’s basically the same thing.

      (If you haven’t ever seen Community’s two paintball episodes, go, go now.“

    23. AnekdotaVII on

      Markwayne is a Jim Crow-era sounding name that couldn’t be more fitting for this dickhead.

      Smells like burning oil, jet fumes, and diesel.  If bodies are involved then you probably can’t eat pork for a while.

      You will never forget it.
