That said how can they make his service an issue when the top of the republican ticket literally is a draft dodger!!!! I have more respect for someone who served...even if the 'quit' before being deployed than someone who just got off on daddy's dime.

I really don't want to hear anyone question his 24 years of service...which was longer than the service of the top of the ticket!

This is madness.


Weird?

He was a teacher that everyone admired and the Defensive coach for a state championship football team.

If that is weird, then what is normal?


I hadn't read that he won a state championship. That's really impressive. The fact set below is nearly impossible to find outside a Hollywood movie.

"Just three years after Mankato West had gone on an 0-27 run, Walz was part of the coaching staff that took the team to the top of the Minnesota high school football world in 1999.

The Scarlets started that year 2-4 but won eight straight to secure their first state championship."

The Republican playbook is to denigrate anyone with military service. Think back to what Republicans did to John Kerry, who had a very distinguished record as a swift boat captain in Vietnam. Meanwhile, Bush, Cheney, and Trump all used their wealth and connections to get out of Vietnam. And Republicans are fine with that. And Republicans continue to mock gold star families. They call those that died in WWII losers. They despise POWs like John McCain. And now their thing is to paint soldiers as a bunch of ethnic, blue-haired trannies. The GOP despises the military and everyone should remember that.

DP. I’m like you and I agree. Kelly would have been a much better choice to convince me. Now I’ll likely just not vote for president. First time since I’ve been eligible.

When Minnesota governor Tim Walz chose to leave the military on the eve of his deployment to Iraq, Thomas Behrends went in his place.

“I needed to hit the ground running and take care of the troops — and tell them we were going to war,” said Behrends of the 500 soldiers under his command. “For a guy in that position to quit is cowardice.”

Behrends, a 63-year-old farmer in Brewster, MN, called the Democratic vice-presidential candidate “a traitor” for retiring from their Minnesota National Guard unit just before their deployment to Iraq in 2005.

“When your country calls, you are supposed to run into battle — not the other way,” the retired command sergeant major told The Post Tuesday. “He ran away. It’s sad.

“He had the opportunity to serve his country, and said ‘screw you’ to the United States. That’s not who I would pick to run for vice-president.”

“On May 16th, 2005, [Walz] quit, betraying his country, leaving the 1-125th Field Artillery Battalion and its Soldiers hanging without its senior Non-Commissioned Officer, as the battalion prepared for war,” Behrends and fellow retired Guardsman Paul Herr wrote in a letter posted to Facebook during Walz’s first gubernatorial run, in 2018.

Behrends and Herr wrote that Walz could have requested permission from the Pentagon to seek Congressional office while on active duty.

When Walz left the unit, he offered to raise funds to cover his fellow soldiers’ bus trips home for Christmas — a gesture that was seen as a cynical ploy by some of them, according to Behrends.

“If it were me, I would feel guilty about leaving and do something to make up for it, but if you ask me he was doing it to buy votes,” Behrends told The Post. “He will do anything for votes.”

The unit spent 17 months in Iraq and suffered three casualties, including Kyle Miller, a 19-year-old from Willmar, MN.


Ah, the ol' swift boat strategy. You're backing President bonespurs who calls veterans losers and suckers. Sorry, this dog won't hunt. Walz is a breath of fresh air and it must tick you off how much joy and excitement this ticket brings.


They tried this when he ran for governor. It’s hard to argue that a guy that served for TWENTY FOUR years is a traitor.


Considering Minnesota has not voted for a republican for president since 1972 it’s no surprise that Minnesota is cool with a man who abandoned his troops on the brink of going to war. We will see if the rest of the country is so forgiving.


Bone spur still irritating you?

+1. I can’t believe they’re trying to swift boat yet another vet when their draft-dodging candidate famously said avoiding STDs was his “”personal Vietnam.”

He didn’t grow up in San Francisco!

He is from Nebraska and went to West Point.


How did a guy who went to West Point end uo as an enlisted NG Soldier? Officers come out of West Point.

I am still confused how he’s listed as a Command Sgt Major as he dropped out of the SGM academy. He should not claim to be a SGM or CSM. And he got arrested for drunk driving while a Soldier; that’s a career killer.


So funny for you weirdos to hyper analyze a military record while you have no problem with the Cherry Hill, North Carolina “public affairs photographer” and his stolen valor pretending he was some brave hero risking his skin in Iraq.

They also have a secret love of couches, the love that dare not rustle its name, and will defend JD’s desperate attempts to get Couchy out of his system.


Why do you keep harping on a completely made up story about a couch? I just don’t get it.

Not pp, but it's harmless, compared to the awful stories made up by Republicans that women have abortions out of "convenience."

You'd prefer posters stick to discussing his Project 2025 alliance and his cat-eye eyeliner and lip gloss? There are threads on that too if you're interested.

I feel the same way, especially since the assumption is they'd be in office through 2032.

Rumors are that he failed vetting. IF that’s true, you wouldn’t have voted for him anyway and it would’ve sunk the ticket.

And in 2016 you voted for TFG because you just couldn't get behind Hillary, and now you're not sure why people make such a big deal about January 6 or classified documents, but you're not going to stand for burning buildings because the police murdered a guy.

Given all that we know about the Republicans at this point, I cannot understand how anyone would not vote in this election.

Don’t forget the dolphins.

But really if you want to stick to the issues we could also ask more about this “Federal Response” Vance wants to see to women traveling out of state for healthcare.

You would say that about any Democratic pick. I’m sorry the GOP went off the rails and became a cult of personality. The Dems just can’t become Regan republicans to attract you.

And if PP is ok with Trump being elected then she really isn’t a Never Trumper.
