I’m deeply uncomfortable with candidates campaigning in the uniform they used to wear, even if it looks like he is a former member of the Marvel Comics Navy.
The figure on his chest looks like at the top either a submariner or a surface warfare designation. I am not sure about the big blob under that unless it’s his name tag. Then under that it looks like a parachute designation, which seems unlikely since he is a machinist mate first class and probably doesn’t do much jumping from the engine room.
From one former NCO to another, civvies are the correct attire. Get yourself right and remove your uniform from political advertising. You are setting a poor example.
What’s that weird mark on his chest, what battle did he win to get that one, the battle of the BM?? and the mud on his face?? Couldn’t he have washed before the artist drew his pic??
It seems people like to perform exercises in futility. Choosing the same course of action and expecting different results is a fail every time. Someone steps up and voices change and it’s a roast instead of focusing on the long history of governers that have failed us, some earning convictions. Go ahead. Maintain the status quo. Vote for Rauner or pritzger. I love seeing people set the future for repeat failure.

Since he appears to be a submariner, perhaps that big square object on his chest is a radiation badge. I think he may have gotten a few too many rads.
