| BLUF: [Washington Examiner] He later returned to Iraq for a third tour as a special assistant to Gen. David Petraeus, who later became CIA director, and a fourth as a liaison to tribal leaders in the south of the country. After gaining two more degrees from Harvard University, Moulton in 2014 successfully defeated a nine-term Democratic incumbent congressman, John Tierney, in a primary and entered Congress. But despite having what one Republican strategist described as "the most perfect resume of all time," Moulton made barely a ripple in the crowded field of presidential hopefuls during his four-month bid. When his campaign ended last month, so too did the possibility that Democrats would nominate an experienced battle leader to be the next commander in chief. |

| #3 Political arena? No, it counts for nothing with Democrats. Look how they treated Tulsi Gabbard. |

| #1 Please look around you. Begin with an examination of the plight of your old boss David Petraeus. The DS has no intention of permitting a military mind to gain traction within the beltway. The power rests elsewhere. |
