  28. What is the curious figure on the chest? At least there is someone to make Sam look like a serious candidate.

    Comment by d.p.gumby Monday, Jul 9, 18 @ 1:50 pm

  29. Maybe he can work at Trump’s Space Force.

    Comment by Flynn's Mom Monday, Jul 9, 18 @ 1:57 pm

  30. 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.

    Comment by Six Degrees of Separation Monday, Jul 9, 18 @ 2:46 pm

  39. Sent the picture to one of my bubble..submariner friends. He says that the bottom insignia is the Deep Submergence insignia. I snickered at the irony. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Submergence_insignia

  41. Eh, not sure about using the uniform as part of a political ad? More guidance here:

    Comment by b-non Monday, Jul 9, 18 @ 2:59 pm

  42. “I’m a libertarian. Here’s me wearing one of the uniforms of the largest federal bureaucracy.”

    Comment by Nick Name Monday, Jul 9, 18 @ 2:59 pm

  43. 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.

    Comment by Anonymous Monday, Jul 9, 18 @ 3:10 pm

  44. Now instead of HOPE on the bottom, maybe something about being a deadbeat on child support?

    Comment by Uncle Merkin Monday, Jul 9, 18 @ 3:16 pm

  45. I think I got high looking at that thing.

    Comment by Albany Park Patriot Monday, Jul 9, 18 @ 3:21 pm

  46. 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??

    Comment by Ragman Monday, Jul 9, 18 @ 3:22 pm

  47. Kashed Out.

  50. I try not to make fun of veterans or those willing to put themselves out there by running for public office.

    But wow…just wow.

    Comment by Commonsense in Illinois Monday, Jul 9, 18 @ 3:32 pm

  51. The next governor

    Comment by Jeffrey Monday, Jul 9, 18 @ 3:35 pm

  52. 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.

    Comment by A Jack Monday, Jul 9, 18 @ 3:44 pm

  53. Shevek: it shouldn’t matter what service he was in. Policies like that are DOD-wide and not service-specific.

    Comment by b-non Monday, Jul 9, 18 @ 3:45 pm

  54. Was he in the Scottish navy with Braveheart

    Comment by West Side the Best Side Monday, Jul 9, 18 @ 3:45 pm

  55. Kash “Dirty Jobs” Jackson should know that his lapel ribbons look like a back of a shirtless man.

    Comment by Jocko Monday, Jul 9, 18 @ 3:45 pm

  56. Turn on your black light to get the full effect.

  57. Lol this guy has a slightly better chance than Bob “three states” Marshall.

    Comment by Thomas Zane Stepp Monday, Jul 9, 18 @ 6:40 pm

  58. CHANGE (your name)

    Comment by Near West side Monday, Jul 9, 18 @ 6:47 pm

  59. Where’s the jail bars?

    Comment by Glengarry Monday, Jul 9, 18 @ 6:52 pm

  60. 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.
