Notice none of his Soldiers are talking about his moral courage as he dipped before the 22 month deployment.

Agreed. He's genuine and relatable.

You know, the thing is, he's showing up, and people like him and connect with him. Certainly a lot more than Vance. All the screaming and bluster in the world doesn't change that.

Amen!

False. I don't care what some wackjob MAGA says or what dumb swiftboating they are trying. And I especially don't care what some fat fake-bonespur guy who never even served has to say about Walz.

Most real Iraq veterans have no problem with Tim Walz over his service. Here's a sampling.

Did any of those guys serve with Walz?

And yet so much better than Vance. And the nation agrees

The ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos survey found
39 percent of respondents said they either have a “strongly” or “somewhat” positive view of Walz. By comparison,
32 percent of those surveyed said they either have a “strongly” or “somewhat” positive view of Vance.

Additionally,
30 percent said they have a “strongly” or “somewhat” negative view of the Minnesota governor, while
42 percent say they have a “strongly” or “somewhat” negative view of the Ohio senator.

JD Vance is more unpopular than Sarah Palin

Yet another way that Harris is better than Trump, she can make decent choices. She is far more likely to select a reasonable cabinet that will not all end up in jail. Note that during Trump's four years in office, he selected 44 people for support staff, inner circle and cabinet. Over 10 people went to prison. 40 of the 44 people he hired/enlisted as cabinet and staff will not endorse him for office. Many of the lawyers that he has hired to work with him in the 4 years since he left office have been disbarred and many have faced legal penalties for frivolous lawsuits. He has had 60+ legal challenges rejected.

We need someone who is smarter and makes better choices. Harris may not be great, but compared to the worst president in history, she is still several steps up from him.

Republicans are still trying to find a problem with Walz and failing horribly.

More than 1,000 veterans sign letter supporting Walz

Trump and Vance have attacked Walz's military record

Walz served 24 years in the National Guard

He retired in order to run for Congress

(NewsNation) — More than 1,000 veterans, service members and families signed a letter supporting Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and commending his military service as Republicans have launched attacks on Walz about his time in the military.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/17/politics/inside-the-formative-military-service-of-vance-and-walz/index.html

[...]
Both Vance and Walz enlisted in the military as a springboard, attending college with the help of the GI Bill. Signs of their political aspirations, talent and leadership skills were clearly evident to those who knew them best in the military. In interviews with more than a dozen veterans who served with either Walz or Vance, a picture emerges of two men who exhibited attributes while in uniform that would guide their political careers.

For those who served closely with Walz, it was his positive mindset that most defined him – a sentiment that was echoed by his former students. For those who knew Vance, they spoke of a young Marine who was mature beyond his years and could do jobs typically given to more senior officers.

Walz’s military service, from his retirement to a statement about carrying weapons in war, has come under scrutiny since Kamala Harris choose him as her running mate – including from Vance, who went after Walz the day after his selection. While there have been several veterans of Walz’s unit who have spoken out against him, many of those who knew him best say the criticism is unjustified.

“I don’t follow too many people. But in the few years that he was my first sergeant, I will follow him anywhere, if that says anything about his character,” said retired Sgt. David Bonnifield, who served under Walz in the Minnesota Guard. “Once you are his soldier, you are always his soldier. He will always want to help.”

Also, Walz is a good, honest, normal dude. There’s a lot to like about him.

Is it normal and honest to pretend you are deaf instead of drunk when stopped for speeding while under the influence?

Is it normal and honest to lie about bone spurs to illegally avoid being drafted?
Is it normal and honest to hide information about your infidelity to avoid the public from knowing about it before the election, then paying out of campaign funds to hide the information, then falsifying documents to hide your previous lies?
Is it normal and honest to own a business, then as President, to channel official White House visitors and secret service members to use your business to enrich yourself?
Is it normal and honest to solicit election campaign funds and then channel that money to your own personal non-campaign use?
is it normal and honest to get selected as a government official, hire your unqualified family as advisors, send them to foreign countries where they could use their and your political influence to convince foreign business entities to do business with your family for their enrichment?
Is it normal and honest to cheat on all of your wives, including cheating on your first wife and marrying your AP, then cheating on your third wife while she was pregnant with your child?
Is it normal and honest to sexually assault a woman, then deny it happened and drag her through the mud when she sues you for defamation?
is it normal and honest to talk about host illegal and unethical it is to vote early, and then go and vote early yourself?
Is it normal and honest to complain about the Biden's age in 2020 and then try to run again in 2024 when Trump is older now than Biden was in 2020?


Trump has lied much more frequently and violated more ethics and laws than Walz has. Why are you not up in arms and outraged by all of Trump's lying, cheating?

Excellent question. And the response is...*crickets*

The guy in Nebraska that brought all that up has been pissed at him since they were in the Guard together and Tim got the promotion that guy wanted (which then he GOT when Walz left). I found his DB page, he's the local guy who is all about the military (and the local American Legion post) and sportsmen's (aka hunting) groups and his farm and dissing anything faintly liberal. He is one guy, who happens to be pretty hard core classic rural midwestern right winger who hates Democrats and progressives. And there are plenty of military vets who find it disgusting that he insults a fellow veteran.

Walz did 24 years. He trashed his hearing with howitzers so that he required surgery. He was in the Guard when we invaded Iraq in 1990, when the WTC and DC were hit, and a full 2 years into the Iraq invasion. I have no idea what his opinion was about that. I do recall that although I did not agree with the invasion, there was a moment when Collin Powell spoke when I thought the people in intelligence and the military know stuff we are not able to and maybe they're right. As it turned out, they didn't and they weren't.

It's pretty weird that otoh Vance complains "we were lied to" and that same people are going after Walz for choosing to run for Congress and retiring from the Guard. I mean really, if he did "chicken out" (for which there s zero evidence) doesn't that make him a winner in the Trump value system?

It’s kinda funny. And they know it.

Jd is no longer in the military so did he abandon his troops?? I'm just really confused when someone can actually retire and get out of the military without it being abandonment?

My uncle retired after 20 years in the national guard to go to private sector. Many of his colleagues stayed in the service and are lifelong servicemen. He is still Friends with them to this day and never once have I ever thought he deserted his troop.
So are the Republicans saying once you enter the service you must also die in the service?? Because I thought those were suckers?

That’s not true. The Soldier who replaced Tim completed the SMA Academy and was a CSM.
