Duncan D. Hunter

Duncan Hunter interests me as a study in two kinds of combat. An Iraq War Marine awarded the Purple Heart, he became the first such veteran elected to Congress, carrying the discipline of the battlefield into the equally bruising arena of politics. I won't pretend his career was without controversy, but I respect the throughline: a San Diego native who served, then sought to shape the country he fought for. Whatever one makes of his positions, there's a coherent narrative of conviction here, of a man who kept choosing the front line. That consistency, agree or not, demands a measure of respect.
