Tim Walz Lied About His Military Service

why would he be a great VP?  He's been a really shitty governor so far, almost as shitty as Kamala has been as VP over the past few years.

It's not us, it's his fellow men who served with him.  Walz is a loser.

No, it's definitely you spreading lies about this seemingly decent man for cynical partisan reasons.

LOL - I'm not spreading anything.  These are people who actually served with this unseemly horrible man, and they are stepping forward for reasons of trying to find the truth.  This clown shouldn't be in the White House, and of course, dumber than a bag of hammers Kamala shouldn't be either.  Two low-functioning communist losers.

This thread amounts to a bunch of cowardly "keyboard warriors" making petty attacks against a man who actually served his country for 24 years. 

Carping about the rank he was serving at when he retired vs. the rank for his retirement benefits? Jeebus. You people need hobbies. 

Sorry - you're saying all the military people who complained about him ducking his service are the 'keyboard warriors'? The guys who actually went to combat?

The Minnesota National Guard confirmed Wednesday that Gov. Tim Walz, Kamala Harris' vice presidential running mate, was demoted and did not retire as a command sergeant major like he has claimed for years, including on his official gubernatorial biography.

Huh...so JD says Walz didn't go to a conflict area, despite Walz suggesting he did. CNN confirmed that Vance was right. Now Walz is confirmed to have been demoted because he didn't complete the course work for his promotion.

I heard someone say today that picking Walz was done to help Harris lose, not help her win.

Well it seems he just decided he was not going to Iraq for the fraudulent unnecessary war the Bush White House had concocted and that he’d had enough of the military.  Since his dad wasn’t rich enough to bribe a doctor for a forged diagnosis of bone spurs like draft-dodging Trump did, or get him assigned to a do-nothing “Champagne Squadron” full of spoiled rich kids like draft-evading George W Bush, he simply retired without completing the training courses required for his rank so was demoted to his previous rank.

So you're saying you believe he chickened out when it came time to actually serve his country. 

That's fine. Not everyone is a hero. Lots of people would not want to go to a shooting war especially if they were getting a little older. There's no law that he broke, 

But - then call a spade a spade.  The criticism of him is entirely fair at that point and quit trying to defend it. He did what he did and his fellow soldiers were understandably peeved and people can judge his character based on his actions. Don't pretend it isn't what it is.

Trump served no time.

JD Vance was a non-combatant for six months as a military journalist. 

It is amazing how the deranged MAGA squad of the forum will distort the truth.

What is amazing is how we are on page 6 and you completely ignored all of the actual arguments presented and the evidence/facts to back them up.

That's your answer? Walz lied about his service...TWICE...and you don't care? I guess as long as he's for infanticide, mutilating children's sexual organs, gay porn in school, open boarders and taxing our economy out of existence, it doesn't matter that he lied about his service.

This is the kind of garbage the MAGA squad invents about their political opponents. Joseph Goebbels would be proud.

He retired more than a year before his unit deployed to a non-combat role in Iraq, so that he could run for Congress.  The Guard could have recalled him if they wanted to.

Do you just say stuff with no care about it being true?

His unit did in fact see combat, the Command Sergeant Major who took his place was there, the one criticizing him. 

The Guard doesn't selectively recall people, things like that are a big deal and are used for emergency purposes and does not change the evidence we have from others who served saying his motivations to leave were to avoid being deployed.

"like" it never happened. 

No one can deny he served in that role... but he FAILED to fulfill the obligations to earn that rank, thus he was demoted. 

He certainly doesn't go around bragging about being demoted now does he?

No, he lies and dishonestly brags about being something he never earned. 

Gee, I wonder why people who served in the military find that dishonest.

LOL show me one instance outside of the biography where he "brags" about retiring as a CSM.

I mean sure, lets just ignore that evidence to make it convenient for you. 

Liar. You ever going to be man enough to own up to your lie here?

So, he repeatedly bragged about it in his Congressional biography and in the Harris Campains biography... and in a video by the campaign...

In a video from 2018 that the Harris campaign rolled out to tout her running mate, Walz claimed he was a "retired sergeant major."

And we're back to square one. No one genuinely cares about the distinction between "served as CSM until retirement" and "retired as an MS for benefits purposes" except people like you who are easily outraged and would vote Democrat in a million years. And if you were honest with yourself you would admit this doesn't actually matter to you either anymore than the tampon thing does.

They're trying to do the same shit now with his football coaching too "he wasn't a coach he was  a defensive coordinator," truly desperate stuff.

There are other things to bring up about Walz. The issue here seems to be that he embellished his military record. 

He should also be called out for letting rioters run wild in his own state, or for pushing the trans agenda onto children, tampons in men's washrooms😵. He is far-left, no denying that.

Or maybe had a crisis of conscience. The Bush regime’s fabricated justification for invading Iraq was clearly a massive fraud that needlessly killed and maimed thousands of US military personnel and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians

Then again as others have pointed out he left the military more than a year before his unit deployed to Iraq and did so to run for congress. So it seems  the war had nothing to do with it after all.

If this is the best you guys have, woof.

Trump praised Minnesota Gov. Walz in 2020 for response to unrest over Floyd’s murder, audio shows

Also the anti-trans stuff has been electoral kryptonite for the Repugs, so you should definitely harp on that more.
