MAGA Senator Slammed for Describing War Smell Without Service
Oklahoma Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin has faced significant backlash for his comments on Fox News regarding the “smell of war,” despite never having served in the military. Mullin, a member of the Senate Armed Forces Committee, evoked the sensory experience of conflict, drawing sharp criticism from veterans and activists who questioned his authority to speak on the matter. Critics pointed to his age during key military conflicts and his decision to inherit his family’s business instead of enlisting. The senator also made notable gaffes, confusing Iran with Iraq and misidentifying a defense secretary, further fueling online outrage.
