He was speaking about a congressional visit.


Was he?

Walz, Minnesota’s governor since 2019, spoke about his “guilt” that he “came home” when others did not during a commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks — moments before mentioning his time at Afghanistan’s Bagram Air Base, without clarifying he was there as a civilian.

“I had the privilege of serving in this state’s National Guard. And when I left, I had a 2-year-old, and when I came home, I had a 3-year-old. But as I listened to [Gold Star families speak] — the guilt. I came home and my daughter went on, and when you’re 2 and 3, she knew no difference,” said Walz, who deployed to Italy in a support role in 2003 during the war on terror.

He’s a liar.

My first duty station out of AIT, I deployed. This dude is a liar.


Link this source please so I can read the proper context, not just jumbled quotes from different speeches.
He was deployed for a year, might not have been to Iraq or Afghanistan, but it was a deployment. For a year of his young child’s life. You should know that’s a big deal to a family.


In a speech at the Minnesota State House on a “Day of Remembrance” marking the 20th anniversary of 9/11, Mr. Walz left the impression he saw combat.
Among the speakers were two women: Jill Stephenson, who lost her son, an Army Ranger, in Afghanistan, and Mariah Jacobsen, whose father died on the hijacked United Flight 93. Brave passengers organized an in-flight reaction force to try to rescue the plane from al Qaeda suicide pilots who then crashed the jet in a field near Shanksville in southwestern Pennsylvania, killing all onboard.

After the women spoke, Mr. Walz delivered remarks. He said at one point: “I had the privilege of serving in this state’s National Guard. And when I left, I had a 2-year-old, and when I came home, I had a 3-year-old. But as I listened to Jill and I listened to Mariah, the guilt. I came home, and my daughter went on.”
A military veteran expressing guilt about returning home when others did not is typically something a combatant says.

The video is posted on YouTube under the headline “9/11 Day of Remembrance at the MN State Capitol (9/11/21).” Credit is given to the Minnesota Military & Veterans Museum, which also has a link on its website.

Not stolen valor.
He was describing HIS experience. He never said he saw combat in this speech. You all should just thank him for his service to the country and move on. This parsing of BS just makes you look small, particularly in light of president bone spurs.

Walz was asked about the six hostages and just said goodbye and walked away. What is wrong with him?

Good for him. I can’t stand those silly fort ha questions. He shouldn’t answer those types of questions in that surrounding. He was there to support Minnesota as the Minnesota governor.

What is wrong with you. They are dead. What more is there to say. Look, I have no interest in the USA going to war in the Middle East, and my kid getting drafted. Let Bibi figure out his own bullshit.

One of them was an American. He wants to be vice president, he could act like he cares.

Who can’t stand it? Everyone is free to vote for who they want to vote for.

Maybe you should remember that and apply it to others.

Hersh Goldberg-Polin’s parents spoke at the DNC convention but I guess they’re not useful props anymore. Walz walks away when asked about their son being killed.

I am sick and tired of Americans going to places that are deemed dangerous and unsafe and expect other Americans to risk their lives to save them. Stop going to China, Israel, Russia, Iran, etc. With that said, I am sorry for all the innocent lives in that conflict, Americans, Palestinians, and Israeli. It is always the young who die in these old men wars.

And be real, there is nothing Walz could have said, except maybe America will send troops or more 40,000 ton bombs to flatten all Gaza, that would have been satisfactory to you.

Interesting you considered them props only. Says a lot about you, and it is not good.

He can’t offer his condolences? Nothing?
