He continued,"There are no words that I have that could come close to overemphasize Clyde's negative view of the military, his disdain of enlisted service members, and his revulsion to wear the uniform.". The text was then circulated to local outlets, including the Daily Herald and Herald Net.Brett Shavers went on in his letter to allege that his son is also only tied to the 10th Legislative District by renting a bed and breakfast in the area.
"His political letter is inaccurate and, personally, very painful to me as his son," Shavers said of his father's claims."To be clear, this letter is all about politics."
