Original Note:
DeSantis has never claimed to be a Navy SEAL. At the first Republican presidential primary debate, DeSantis said he “was assigned with U.S. Navy SEALs in Iraq” & “deployed to Iraq alongside U.S. Navy SEALs.” DeSantis was a Navy lawyer who advised a SEAL commander in 2007. https://www.operationmilitarykids.org/was-ron-desantis-a-navy-seal/ https://www.factcheck.org/2023/08/desantis-military-service-as-navy-lawyer-for-seal-commander/
