...with respect to Greitens. Although he markets himself as some super-patriot, I don't see him that way.
In Greitens I see a guy who's hell bent on leveraging his military service for all it's worth in order to fuel clear political ambitions. That's his prerogative, but it turns me off.
A lot of modern SEALs have been cashing in on their service, and some other SEALs don't like it:

The idea of any American defining patriotism for any other American is, in itself, un-American. As long as it's done peacefully and doesn't violate anyone else's right to interpretation, it's a subject best left alone, like religion.
