Trump’s DHS pick, Markwayne Mullin, never served in military but talks as if he did
AI Summary
Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin, Donald Trump's nominee for Secretary of Homeland Security, is facing scrutiny for statements suggesting military experience he does not possess. Mullin, who never served in the US armed forces, has used vivid language describing the experience of war. While he has privately hinted at involvement in dangerous private security work, he stated during his nomination hearing that he has never traveled to a foreign country outside of vacation or mission work.

The committee questioned Mullin about the discrepancy between his public statements and his actual experience.
