    This has to be a hit job right. The speaker is a political science major whose worked in politics his whole career. How is this considered a mistake or incompetence because it should be seen as purposefully done I think

      It’s his own party that’s in government, so I’m not sure what the motive would be.

      He was probably in college 40 years ago and I’m not sure how much military history is involved in that major, so I don’t find it implausible he and a few select staffers wouldn’t realise. Going by the ones I’ve interacted with politicians are salespeople, not academics.
