My Take
Mike Waltz is one of those rare people who makes you feel like you've wasted your life just by reading his Wikipedia page. Born in Boynton Beach, Florida, he went on to become a Green Beret, earned a Bronze Star for his service, then pivoted into business, then into Congress representing Florida's 6th district — and that's all before his fifties. What I respect about him is that the military background isn't just a credential he waves around; it genuinely shapes how he talks about national security and policy, and you can tell he's actually thought hard about the cost of war in a way that a lot of hawks in Washington simply haven't. Whether you agree with his politics or not, there's a coherent worldview behind the positions, and that alone puts him above a pretty crowded field.
