Walz never served.
Well this is a lame OP.Tim Walz is a coward. He did the safe deployments to Italy and Norway, but when his unit was activated to go to Iraq, he suddenly “retired” when still having 2 years left on his commitment.
To Veterans Like Me, Tim Walz's Abandonment of His Unit I...
Here's the truth about Tim Walz: When his men needed him before what would have been his only combat deployment, he was nowhere to be found.www.newsweek.com
Paid letter: The Truth About Tim Walz
Tim Walz has embellished and selectively omitted facts and circumstances of his military career for years.www.wctrib.com
In early 2005, a warning order was issued to the 1-125th Field Artillery Battalion, which included the position he was serving in, to prepare to be mobilized for active duty for a deployment to Iraq.
On May 16th, 2005 he quit, leaving the 1-125th Field Artillery Battalion and its Soldiers hanging; without its senior Non-Commissioned Officer, as the battalion prepared for war. His excuse to other leaders was that he needed to retire in order to run for congress. Which is false, according to a Department of Defense Directive, he could have run and requested permission from the Secretary of Defense before entering active duty; as many reservists have. If he had retired normally and respectfully, you would think he would have ensured his retirement documents were correctly filled out and signed, and that he would have ensured he was reduced to Master Sergeant for dropping out of the academy. Instead he waited for the paperwork to catch up to him. His official retirement document states, SOLDIER NOT AVAILABLE FOR SIGNATURE.
…
The bottom line in all of this is gut wrenching and sad to explain. When the nation called, he quit. He failed to complete the United States Army Sergeants Major Academy. He failed to serve for two years following completion of the academy, which he dropped out of. He failed to serve two years after the conditional promotion to Command Sergeant Major. He failed to fulfill the full six years of the enlistment he signed on September 18th, 2001. He failed his country. He failed his state. He failed the Minnesota Army National Guard, the 1-125th Field Artillery Battalion, and his fellow Soldiers. And he failed to lead by example. Shameful.
Same as multiple deferrment Biden.How long did Bone Spurs spend in the military, jmb?
Same as multiple deferrment Biden.
Would not the comparison be to Trump's VP pick? Vance served active duty in Iraq etc.
Trump and Harris' military service is equal.
Did you?Walz never served.
I wonder why they won't compare Walz and Vance military service. (not really)Tim Walz is a coward. He did the safe deployments to Italy and Norway, but when his unit was activated to go to Iraq, he suddenly “retired” when still having 2 years left on his commitment.
They basically have given up any moral high ground.I cannot get those so-called veterans of the military who say they will vote for the rapey felonious coward. They obviously have no self-pride.
Oh, shit, I was wrong. Not a flounce. This is self defenestration in clown paint.Walz never served.
1) All of Iraq was considered a combat zone.
2) We took mortar and rocket attacks regularly on the bases.
3) Combat correspondents in the USMC go on patrols with line units. Outside the wire.
By JMB's standard, Vance abandoned his unit to go write a book.Would not the comparison be to Trump's VP pick? Vance served active duty in Iraq etc.
And? Most National Guard units don't see military action. Seriously, you are all just looking for more reasons to hate this guy, it's obvious what this is about. If he had the same level of service but was a Republican you'd be telling us how awesome he is.From his training in artillery not war.
Exactly what I was going to say. It's not going to work. Serving in Congress is serving your country. No right-wing opinion piece can change that.Welcome back, Swiftboat.
Walz spent 24 years in the National Guard. Tell me: how long was Trump’s military service?
Fun fact: I’m still within the edit window, and it turns out the OP doesn’t even believe Trump’s bone spurs excuse. This thread is the definition of chutzpah.
Unlike Walz, Vance served and fulfilled his commitment.Vance abandoned his servicemen out of cowardice.
I just did.Do tell...
Yes he did. He abandoned the entire Vietnam war with his fake bone spurs.Trump never abandoned his soldiers, ever!
MAGA.
After leaving wounded his fellow servicemen on the field in order to save his own life.Unlike Walz, Vance served and fulfilled his commitment.

Bush 43 had cred because of being in the Air National Guard.And? Most National Guard units don't see military action. Seriously, you are all just looking for more reasons to hate this guy, it's obvious what this is about. If he had the same level of service but was a Republican you'd be telling us how awesome he is.
