He served a four-year enlistment as a combat correspondent, during which he escorted civilian press and gathered information and wrote articles for a military news service. He deployed to Iraq as a corporal with the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing in 2005.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinecorpstimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2024\/07\/16\/with-trump-pick-jd-vance-is-first-post-911-vet-on-major-party-ticket\/\">Marine Corps Times<\/a><br \/>\nWhatever could go wrong?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>J.D.
