===Tulsi Gabbard is not genuinely a "Combat Vet"===
Tulsi never saw combat other than observing the horrors of war from a safe distance herself. Therefore, her campaign appears to be exaggerating her war experience as a “Combat Vet”. As a daughter of Hawaii State Senator, Mike Gabbard, Tulsi was never placed in harm's way during her two Iraq War tours. Worked a hospital desk job pushing papers and trained military police. Never led a force into battle, took or exchanged fire. President Obama changed rules, so that military personal now receive special citation simply for being in a war zone, that was formerly reserved for serving in units under fire. National Guard and Army Reserve soldiers serve in non-combat roles.
