An interesting and telling story, not just because MAGA-loving Mastriano wore the uniform of traitors, but that the picture was recently removed from a wall of faculty portraits at the Army War College, perhaps at Mastriano's request. The photo had to be obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request.

Mastriano is currently running to be Governor of Pennsylvania, a state which if I remember my history correctly, was on the Union side in the Civil War, sending an estimated 360,000 soldiers for the federal armies.

Doug Mastriano, the far-right Republican nominee for governor of Pennsylvania, wore a Confederate uniform for a faculty photo at the Army War College that surfaced on Friday.

The photo, from the 2013 to 2014 academic year, shows Mr. Mastriano wearing a gray military uniform, including a gray cap with yellow trim, and holding a Civil War-era firearm. It was first reported Friday evening by Reuters, which obtained it through a Freedom of Information Act request.

Mr. Mastriano — a retired Army colonel and now a state senator whose district includes Gettysburg, the site of the battle where the tide of the Civil War turned against the Confederacy — is running for governor against the Pennsylvania attorney general, Josh Shapiro, a Democrat.

Mr. Mastriano’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment Friday evening. Neither did the Army War College, which Reuters reported had recently removed the photo from a wall of faculty portraits. Mr. Mastriano used to work for the college’s Department of Military Strategy, Plans and Operations.
