That role is miniscule, yet in Ventura's mind it was the main role he personally identified himself with as governor. He had nothing but contempt for the civilian aspects of his role as governor, which should send up some red flags here.

Besides, the main thing Jesse hopes to get out of this is free publicity to reinvigorate his career, which is currently in the dumptster.

Jesse Ventura's first and, some say, sole interest in life is as a professional huckster, and the product he peddles is Jesse the Navy SEAL, Jesse the World Wrestling Federation bad guy, and now Jesse the Commander in Chief.
