Amb. Mike Waltz on Sen. Graham: I Met Him in Afghanistan on His Reserve Duty, He Drove the Pentagon Crazy

RUSH EXCERPT:
WALTZ: "I did my heart breaks for his family, particularly his sister, who he raised while putting himself through college after losing their parents at an early age. His nieces, um, for South Carolina. He took such pride, whether it was a little old lady who didn‘t get the benefits she deserved. Uh, that was married to a veteran. And Lindsey would lean in and tell the bureaucracy, we‘re going to do this the easy way or the hard way. Uh, or as I just as you just mentioned, I met him in Afghanistan. He was there on his reserve duty. Senator Graham would become colonel Graham drove the Pentagon crazy, by the way. Not only was he out there training the Afghan jag officers, but really what he wanted was ground truth. And that‘s what he really prized. And I think everyone should remember him for that. He brought that ground truth back. He always looked out for the troops and that, um, you know, at the end of the day, he said, our freedoms can never be taken for granted. They have to be defended with strength. Uh, and we have to support our military to keep us all safe and free. And our economy open."
