I've heard of election pitches, but this:
"The Liberal Party needs a variety of views, including people who have extraordinary life experience... I ran the war in Iraq for a year. That is unique experience." (Molan mounts insurgency to keep seat, David Wroe, Sydney Morning Herald, 18/4/19)
Yes folks, without Major-General Molan in charge, the war in Iraq would've been a complete and utter disaster.

Just to remind your readers about how Molan "ran the war in Iraq" , MERC:
https://www.greenleft.org.au/content/course-jim-molans-no-war-criminal-he-just-happened-allegedly-oversee-alleged-war-crimes
"... Molan directly oversaw the occupiers’ military assault on Fallujah that included alleged war crimes, such as targeting civilians and medical facilities and using chemical weapons."
"the United Nation’s Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, Jean Ziegler, stated that the Coalition had used ‘hunger and deprivation of water as a weapon of war against the civilian population [in] flagrant violation’ of the Geneva Conventions."
The article gives more details.
The legacy of Fallujah:
"The pictures flash up on a screen on an upper floor of the Fallujah General Hospital. And all at once, Nadhem Shokr al-Hadidi's administration office becomes a little chamber of horrors. A baby with a hugely deformed mouth. A child with a defect of the spinal cord, material from the spinal cord outside the body. A baby with a terrible, vast Cyclopean eye. Another baby with only half a head, stillborn like the rest, date of birth 17 June, 2009. Yet another picture flicks onto the screen: date of birth 6 July 2009, it shows a tiny child with half a right arm, no left leg, no genitalia." (The children of Fallujah - the hospital of horrors, Robert Fisk, independent.co.ak, 26/4/12)
I hadn't read that by Fisk, MERC. Depleted Uranium. I wonder if these horrors keeps Molan awake at night. They should but I suspect they don't.
