As a former servicemember and governor, I think JV has earned the right to spout off his POV. It's one thing if it was some long-haired barista calling soldiers "baby killers," who has never served a day, quite another given ventura's background.
For CK to punch JV, for offensive speech or not, makes me wonder if he actually understood why he was killing all those people overseas.
There's a time and a place, and that was neither. I'm sure he understood why he killed those carrying weapons against his fellow warriors.
