Does the Evangelical wing like Catholics? I simply don't know about this aspect. He was a journalist. Except for basic training did he get out of the Green Zone?

They do not. They don’t think they’re Christians.

He was a combat correspondent and deployed for six months. That sounds like an FOB job, but if he’s a combat vet that merits respect even from my Vance-hating self.

He certainly talks the Marine line: "Vance’s single chapter on his time in the Marines is peppered with similiar stories of moral and personal growth....

“When I joined the Marine Corps, I did so in part because I wasn’t ready for adulthood,” Vance writes. “I didn’t know how to balance a checkbook, much less how to complete the financial aid forms for college. Now I knew exactly what I wanted out of my life and how to get there.” (source https://taskandpurpose.com/news/jd-vance-marine-veteran/) As for Catholics and Ev. Protestants: they join hands against abortion and uppity women.
