Everything that's coming out about his stolen valor, his claim that he'd carried weapons in war when he actually abandoned his troops rather than go to Iraq, his claim that he retired at a rank higher than he actually did, is not going away. It's actually gaining traction.
If this is the level of decision-making we can expect from her, and the caliber of people she's going to gather around her if elected, that should give people pause.
I hope you've looked into the debunked stolen valor stuff. It can be easily found on the web.
shareYeah. It just gets worse.
But as someone pointed out, his cutting and running rather than completing the two year Command Sergeant Major course -- a rank he still claims although he didn't do the coursework required to attain it -- left the position open for a man more worthy to lead his men in Iraq.
Maybe after 24 yrs it was more important for Walz to run for Congress and serve his country that way. I respect that. I thank him for his service. It's not like he sat on his ass once he became a congressman, then a very popular governor.
He did achieve the rank of Command Master Sergeant in 2004. Then chose not to retire at that rank which would have been a bump in money & benefits. If he was against the Iraq War why should he fight in something he feels is an unnecessary write-off of US serviceman lives?
Incase you weren't aware of the timeline:
Feb '05: Walz filed to run for Congress
May '05: Waltz retired from Guard
July '05: Former unit ordered to deploy
Oh, is there any proof like your favorite VP in drag questioning his sexuality? :D
shareHe wouldn't have been my pick for VP. I hear your guy is inordinately fond of horses.
Now that we've gotten the juvenile garbage out of the way, maybe we can talk about things substantial -- like whether or not you can believe anything that he says. But for that matter, since Harris is doing 180º's on all the beliefs that lost her the Presidential primaries, one has to ask, "Will the real Kamala Harris please stand up?"
And how do Dems go from saying being strong on the border is racist to saying they want it and want it bad if it comes from Kamala? Do Dems, in fact, know what she stands for? We know she picked her VP because of what Dems used to call "toxic masculinity." But now they want that and want it bad if it comes from Walz. 🤦🏼♀️
