And some veterans such as U.S. Marines Greg Kelly and Katie Horgan "roll their eyes” when Buttigieg talks of his time in the Navy.  Writing in the Wall Street Journal, both criticized Buttigieg as circumventing the years of intense training and preparation that most must go through to achieve such the status of a military officer, having chosen instead to a fast-track to this status through a direct commission in the reserves. “Mr. Buttigieg skipped all that—no obstacle courses, no weapons training, no evaluation of his ability or willingness to lead...” “Paperwork, a health exam and a background check were all it took to make him a naval officer.”

While Buttigieg attacks evangelicals for supporting Trump since he states he cannot find any compatibility between the way this president conducts himself and anything that he  finds in scripture, thus focusing on conduct, not policy, Buttigieg's conduct includes a rejection of the core teaching of salvation from sin and homosexuality: {{quotebox|Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened....For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.<ref>[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+1%3A26-27&version=KJV Romans 1:21, 26-27]</ref>}} Scripture is unambiguous. God is not confused. Buttigieg's homosexuality is a consequence of [[idolatry]] and rejection of God.

In addition, most all of Buttigieg's  polices (see below) are contrary to the Bible, and it was due to Trump's policies overall supporting Christian values, and refusing to back down, that was the main reason evangelicals voted overwhelming for Trump versus the opposition, which was as much opposed to Christian interests as Trump was for them.
