In April, Harold Earls announced he was running as a Republican in Georgia's 6th Congressional District.

Curious what people think about this. I'm not a Republican supporter so have no drive to go to bat for Capt. Earls but I'm not sure I agree that he has done much wrong here. It might be different if he was just randomly using these images but he did serve there for many years, so it is the most accurate picture of his service and seemed genuinely really respectful. Candidates who have served in Iraq or Afghanistan often use imagery from those places in their campaigns, is this really so different. Even the interviews with his former colleagues read to me more like they just don't really like the guy than that they have a huge issue with his campaign vid. Interested to hear other thoughts.
