A former President Donald Trump supporter attending the 2024 hopeful's Saturday Waco, Texas rally, claimed he served in the United States Marine Corps, but couldn't name his military occupational specialties (MOS), or the location he served.

Former prosecutor Ron Filipkowski shared a clip of the Trump rally attendees interview, writing, "Guy at Trump rally claims he served in Marines. Christina Bobb says she did too and asks his MOS. He can't say. Then asks him where he served. He can't say."

The man said "he couldn't go into detail" about where he was stationed, but did tell Bobb he "flew into places."
