She picked Tim

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?

Tim never graduated from the SMA and thus was never promoted to SMA or CSM. He seras a CSM pending his successful completion of the SMA. When he retired, the SMA who replaced him had already graduated from the SMA and had to volunteer to take Tim’s place and leave his family and farm to do so. The CSM who volunteered to replace Walz spent 17 months in the combat zone with Walz’s former unit. He was already promoted beyond what Walz ever achieved because Walz didn’t graduate from the SMA. I don’t know what kind of disinformation you are trying to spread but it’s wrong to lie about a CSM who volunteered to go in Tim’s place and a Soldier who actually graduated from the SMA while you lie about his life and performance as a Soldier who deployed and served in combat.

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?

Did your uncle retire when his unit was under a deployment warning order and then not correct people when they thanked him for his service on the battlefield? Did he claim that he carried weapons of war when he was deployed to Italy?

He served during the Iraq war and was constantly under deployment orders as was my brother-in-law but neither one actually went to Iraq..... My aunt was pregnant at the time and was freaking out constantly because things changed on a dime all of the time.
They both went overseas and they are both retired now and did not to play again with their troops.

Again, why are we giving any oxygen to these lamebrains going after a veteran who served for 24 years?

Because it entertains them

I couldn't care less what ranky had at any point in his life. He served 24 years. Hell he could have been there waterboy and I would still respect the hell out of that.
He could have played the flute in the band. I really don't care. Anyone who gives 24 years to their country is amazing in my book. Anyone trying to take that away is weird.

DP what are you a communist? He retired 2 months before the warning order for deployment was issued. That is not turning his papers in but retired from the army.

Enlisted at 17 and served 24 years attaining the rank of command Sergeant Major. What the f is wrong with you. You should be arrested and charge with stealing value. You are a piece of sh#t loser.

Trump ran away when there was a possibility of military service and Vance was a journalist. Vance got his safe MOS through connections. That is typical of you republicans. So go stand by your “man” and tell everyone what kind of values you loser maga trumpers embrace.

The One Vice Presidential Pick Who Could Ruin Democratic Unity
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is a leading candidate to be Kamala Harris’s running mate. Selecting him would fracture the party.

Kamala could not pick Shapiro because democrats are anti-Semitic.

The ugly truth is there is a segment of the Democratic Party that is highly anti Semitic and their votes are essential to the Harris/ Walz ticket. Just spend some time on AM talk radio and see for yourself.

This "he abandoned us" crap is nonsense. It takes a long time for military retirement paperwork and process to happen, longer than a year. It's not like you can just retire instantaneously the second something comes up.

Walz submitted his retirement papers months before they got any kind of word of a potential deployment. Walz announced he was running for Congress in February 2005. His unit didn't receive any notice of deployment until mid-March 2005, a month and a half AFTER he had announced he was running for Congress. His unit didn't deploy until March 2006, more than a year after Walz started his Congressional campaign. So his critics' claims don't match up to the actual timeline. It just doesn't jive with reality.

Most people don't even serve 20 years in the military and those who do usually retire at 20 because that already qualifies you for full retirement benefits. Walz went above and beyond to stick it out for 24.

The people trying to misrepresent his retirement and smear him are dishonest, and pure partisan MAGA hacks.

This is baloney. If you are referring to the crazy pro-Hamas protesters, they aren't Democrats, they are just chaotic idiots. I say they aren't Democrats because it only takes 30 seconds of watching coverage of them to see them shrieking things like "Genocide Joe" - they are obviously not Democrat voters, saying crap like that.

Poor MAGAs, desperately trying to make this Walz “scandal” happen.

That’s why the moderator keeps deleting stuff about Walz.

- Walz submitted his retirement paperwork late 2004
- Walz announced he was running for Congress in February 2005
- Walz filed with the FEC in February 2005
- His unit didn't get its first notice of a possible Iraq deployment until March 17 2005 - AFTER Walz already filed his paperwork, AFTER Walz already started running for Congress
- Walz was retired from the Guard May 2005
- His unit didn't get its official deployment notice until June 2005
- His unit didn't deploy until March 2006, more than 18 months after Walz filed retirement paperwork and 10 months after he had already retired

Trying to claim he "suddenly abandoned his unit when they received deployment notice" doesn't add up.

Anyone claiming otherwise lacks basic calendar proficiency.
