In case anyone doesn't know, Tammy Duckworth is a literal badass in every sense of the word. A war veteran, she lost her arm and legs in the Iraq war, recovered, and returned to serve. She is the daughter of every generation of Americans who served in the military since the American Revolution - that's around 1774. Also she's half-Thai so she knows the southeast Asia region more than the average American.
Some further info on her background for those who are interested. She was born in Bangkok and her mom is Thai Chinese. She studied at the Singapore American School and international schools in Bangkok and Jakarta before her family move to Hawaii when she was 16. That was her connection to this region and it explains why she often asks questions related Asean and Singapore.
TIL a new filler to put in the exam paper to increase word count. "Thank you for your question."
Lmao well done lady. Shots fired Can tell the guy really is clueless, not confident and just throwing out nonsense to fill blanks
