Schwartz Taking Heat For Denigrating Laxalt’s Military Service

Nevada Treasurer and Republican gubernatorial candidate Dan Schwartz is taking some heat for comments about his opponents military service. Lyon County Commissioner Ken Gray, says Schwartz said on the campaign trail that both he and Republican Attorney General Adam Laxalt are veterans — but that he carried an M-16 in Germany during the Cold War while Laxalt “carried a briefcase” in Afghanistan. Laxalt was a Navy lawyer who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Gray, who served in the Air Force and the Nevada Guard says he’s disgusted by the comments denigrating another veterans service.
