Oh snap! You guys are hard up if you are liking that. Tough two weeks for you.Hahaha! I don't think Vivek could do better than that!
lol 😝
Says RW liars. I posted article from Military Times Mag, I don't think they would cover up.He didn't retire honorably. He literally was demoted. You are such a sucker for your team.
Swift Boat Part Two. In your glee, did you check to see if a member of the Guard 50 or older would be sent into combat in any circumstance? Don't think it will work twice. Especially when JD was a reporter and not in combat himself. Who knows if that Billionaire Oilman is still alive, maybe he will poor millions into it again, or Elon.He didn't retire honorably. He literally was demoted. You are such a sucker for your team.
If he is so crappy why are you and the rest of MAGA freaking and coming up with every conspriacy/lie possible?What a crappy pick for VP. Trump could still win in a landslide, if he can get back on message and proper tone.
Tim Walz’s ties to Communist China demand attention - Washington Examiner
Tim Walz has a longstanding and very close relationship with China. It deserves scrutiny for reasons of counterintelligence and national security.www.washingtonexaminer.com
The article you posted is clearly biased toward Walz and the left. Otherwise, why bring up Vance at all in an article about Walz. In addition, Vance has always been transparent about his military role. You rightfully call out RW crap but you lap up LW crap.Says RW liars. I posted article from Military Times Mag, I don't think they would cover up.
You must like Vance or dislike Walz as you go out of your way to dispute the Military Times article, and side with RW Swift boating. How old was Walz when his unit was activated? Over 50. Would he have been sent into combat? Vance is transparent about his military role? Does he say he never held a gun or fought in combat., but was merely a press conduit?The article you posted is clearly biased toward Walz and the left.

I don't like Vance at all but I have never seen anywhere that he embellished his military role. Regarding Walz, it looks suspicious that he left the guard right before the tour of Iraq. A reasonable person could conclude that Walz was looking for any reason to not go to Iraq.
Alpha News, seems credible especially when no other legit news gives it credibility. Swift Boat two. Next is the junky lesbian that claims she had an affair with Harris.Here's the guy who replaced Walz. Much to the dismay of stonedhead, his VP is not who he claims he is/was.
It was military.com, a website devoted to military issues. Do you think it has more credibility because military is in the web address?

I'm a part year residemt in Minnesota so more familiar with Walz than I care to be. Among the problems is when he thinks it suits him, he claims to have carried arms "in war".You must like Vance or dislike Walz as you go out of your way to dispute the Military Times article, and side with RW Swift boating.

The most logical explanation for the timing was that Walz was looking for any reason to not go to Iraq. Any other explanation is less believable.
The funny thing is, out of the four people vying for the president/vice president jobs, I think Vance is the best of all of them, which is a reflection of a really sorry state of affairs.
Maybe he thought 24 years of service and being 41 years old was enough.The article you posted is clearly biased toward Walz and the left.

Commie? LOL he is rightThis guy is a loser
Would that be a wrong conclusion?Maybe he thought 24 years of service and being 41 years old was enough.
DAMN, why wasn't he vetted? Especially when this was all raised before he ran for Governor? 🤪Here's the guy who replaced Walz. Much to the dismay of stonedhead, his VP is not who he claims he is/was.
I reviewed the author's articles. She clearly has leftist perspective.A left leaning Military Mag? Come on.

People in the other 49 states should be interested in vetting him now rather than taking Minnesota's word for it. Though as a VP pick it's less important than other things people should be worrying about in the 2024 election.DAMN, why wasn't he vetted?

Not sure what your point is. I wouldn't suggest a person ever take a campaign or politician's claims at face value for anything. But they can be useful starting points in examining the reality surrounding their claims about themselves, or their opponents. On this topic, I've seen Walz claim to have been in war, and Vance claim to do what the military asked him to do.JD Vance attacks Tim Walz’s military record as election race heats up
Vance, who served as a correspondent in the marines, accused Walz of ‘stolen valor garbage’
Observers suggested Vance was attempting to “swift boat” Walz – a reference to attacks on John Kerry, the decorated US navy Vietnam veteran and Massachusetts senator who ran for president against George W Bush in 2004.
Bush avoided serving in Vietnam but Republicans attacked Kerry regardless. The Republican operative (and wounded Gulf war veteran) widely credited with coordinating the effort, Chris LaCivita, now runs the Trump-Vance campaign.

Sure it is possible. However, it is much more likely he retired because he did not want to go to Iraq.Maybe he thought 24 years of service and being 41 years old was enough.
They were both deployed during Iraq war, neither in combat. They both did what they were asked to do, Walz stationed in Italy, Vance a reporter for 6 months that admits that he never saw fighting. No issue or distinction except attempt at Swift Boating. You are sure that he retired to avoid combat, WITHOUT FACTUAL BASIS. Are you projecting?Not sure what you're point is.

From what I read, he went for additional training to get a higher rank. He retired before he finished all the training so he retained the rank before the training.He didn't retire honorably. He literally was demoted.
Yep. If you want to be an elected politician and do so successfully you have to represent yourself as being in line with the electorate. I find it interesting that people single out Vance so vehemently when he's in a cesspool of people with decades-long track records of bending whichever way the wind blows and saying whatever they think serves them in the moment.... Vance is a political opportunist who became a Trumpist to further his political ambitions. ...
Please show me where I made a claim regarding the reason he retired. I only pointed out that he has habitually claimed to have carried weapons of war in war.They were both deployed during Iraq war, neither in combat. They both did what they were asked to do, Walz stationed in Italy, Vance a reporter for 6 months that admits that he never saw fighting. No issue or distinction except attempt at Swift Boating. You are sure that he retired to avoid combat, WITHOUT FACTUAL BASIS. Are you projecting?
Probably neither here nor there, but I'd heard he'd got the rank while going through the training but since he quit before completing it was returned to his prior rank, still not something that would be considered less than honorable or punitive from a discharge perspective.From what I read, he went for additional training to get a higher rank. He retired before he finished all the training so he retained the rank before the training.
This set of circumstances would seem to indicate he was in a hurry to retire to avoid Iraq.
That was aimed at the other poster JeffT.Please show me where I made a claim regarding the reason he retired. I only pointed out that he has habitually claimed to have carried weapons of war in war.
I don't know why Walz retired and neither do you. There will never be any factual proof as to why he retired.They were both deployed during Iraq war, neither in combat. They both did what they were asked to do, Walz stationed in Italy, Vance a reporter for 6 months that admits that he never saw fighting. No issue or distinction except attempt at Swift Boating.
