Seems Laura Loomer, the internet influencer who has some influence over Donald Trump, is now attacking Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll by questioning the Army’s commemorative honoring of Medal of Honor awardee CPT Florent Groberg.<\/p>\n
The young captain literally tackled a suicide bomber wearing an explosive vest. In doing so he saved the lives of most of those present, including his brigade commander, now GEN James Mingus, Vice Chief of Staff of the Army.<\/p>\n
Groberg tackled a suicide bomber during a 2012 mission, an act credited with saving numerous lives, including Gen. James Mingus, now the vice chief of staff of the Army, who was Groberg’s brigade commander at the time. Mingus was among the troops targeted by the bomber. The bomber’s vest detonated, wounding Groberg and causing severe damage to one of his legs and a traumatic brain injury. He required 33 surgeries across three years of care at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.<\/p>\n
Army Command Sgt. Maj. Kevin Griffin, 46; Army Maj. Thomas Kennedy, 35; Air Force Maj. Walter Gray, 38, and USAID official Ragaei Abdelfattah, 43, were killed, and several others were wounded.<\/p>\n
In another post, Loomer continued, “Why is the Army under the new Army Secretary Dan Driscoll constantly getting caught elevating and promoting people who are on the record attacking President Trump?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Her problem with Groberg? His MoH was awarded to him by President Obama. Oh, and he’s of French birth, and once spoke at the DNC in 2016. As far as she is concerned, that is attacking Trump.<\/p>\n
Want to know what he said at the DNC?<\/p>\n
Groberg said: \u201cI am here tonight not as a Democrat or a Republican. I\u2019m here as a proud immigrant to this country, a proud veteran of the United States Army and proud recipient of our country\u2019s highest military honor.\u201d<\/p>\n
In his speech, he also recounted the incident in which he tackled a suicide bomber and was severely injured while on a tour of duty in Afghanistan.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
His response to Loomer’s dragging him to attack Driscoll:<\/p>\n
“Thirteen years ago today is my Alive Day, the day I nearly lost my life, and four of my brothers, including three Army leaders, never came home,” Groberg wrote on X, responding to Loomer. “I’ve served under presidents from both parties and will always honor my oath to this country. Yes, I spoke for 60 seconds at the DNC when asked about service and sacrifice, not politics. For me, 8\/8 isn’t about parties. It’s about the lives we lost.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
What if he is a Democrat? If he is, he’s the kind of Democrat that party desperately needs instead of the likes of Jasmine Crockett and AOC.<\/p>\n
And her…questioning the actions of a Medal of Honor awardee? She’s upset that he was born in\u00a0FRANCE?\u00a0<\/em>(Wonder if she has ever heard the name Lafayette?) The commemoration was of Groberg’s actions, not his politics.<\/p>\n
Tell us, Ms. Loomer: When did you serve? Or, alternatively, how many assholes with vests made by DuPont have YOU tackled?<\/p>\n
