Vance is an elite Yale law school weirdo funded by a really wealthy tech weirdo.

Walz was not a commissioned officer either. He rose through the ranks as an enlisted soldier.

Can you explain the difference in these two paths?

"A commissioned officer is essentially someone hired in a leadership role from the start. In the modern world, they're typically college graduate that enter the military and have high potential or they've gone to military colleges. The commission itself is basically them being give a rank as an officer.

A non-commissioned officer (NCO) is someone who has entered as the lowest rank in the military and worked their way up. At a certain point, they have a ton of tribal knowledge as they've done so many jobs."

But I am both worried and sad that we live in an America that makes having a Jewish running mate a political liability. SMDH

Blame Netanyahu for that. He has single-handedly made people see Jews in a different light

Have some integrity and just admit you never liked them in the first place.
Has Putin single-handedly made people see Russians differently?

Uh, no. Kaine was Clinton with a 5 O'Clock shadow, added nothing new to the ticket. Harris and Walz complement each other much more.

It's kind of important in case something happens to her.

“Back in early 2005, a warning order went out to southern Minnesota’s First Battalion-125th Field Artillery to mobilize for a mission to Iraq, Behrends said. Walz served as the unit’s highest non-commissioned officer after he was conditionally promoted to command sergeant major on April 1, 2005, records show. On May 16, Walz retired from the guard, avoided the deployment, and ran for Congress.

Walz has implied in previous statements that he didn’t retire because of the deployment, but National Guard records show his service obligation wasn’t complete until September 2007.

Behrends was next in line for the position and was asked to take his place.

“I was like well, for Pete’s sake, if this guy quits, if I say I’m not going to do it, I mean, what the hell kind of leadership is that?” Behrends recalled. “If a company would say we’re going to deploy to Iraq and the foreman says, ‘I’m not going,’ what does that say to the 500 that work in that factory?”

Command Sergeant Major Behrends went on to serve in Iraq on a nearly two-year deployment, all while Walz began using that very title as a congressman.

Behrends said he contacted Walz with his concerns before raising the issue publicly, sending letters to Washington in 2016. The letters all went unanswered, Behrends said.

Mainstream media ignores story

Behrends again tried to draw attention to the story in 2018 when Congressman Walz announced his run for governor.

“It kind of just sat there, you know, when he was a congressman. He bragged that he was a retired command sergeant major and the highest-ranking person ever in the House,” Behrends recalled.

“Then, the state of Minnesota came out after 2018 after this was exposed and they said, ‘Well, he can say that he served as a command sergeant major, but he can’t say he’s a retired one because he’s not,'” he added.

“He was saying that and there were campaign letters coming in the mail saying that. They said, right on there, he’s a retired command sergeant major. Just tooting his own horn, hanging on the coattails of people that actually are command sergeant majors that went through all the process and put all the time in,” Behrends said.

A spokesperson for the Minnesota National Guard previously said Walz wasn’t able to retire as a command sergeant major since he failed to complete coursework and other requirements related to the rank.

Documents show the Army corrected Walz’s service record. He was reduced in rank to an E-8 master sergeant after retirement.

“It’s stolen valor is really what it is. I don’t know of anybody else that’s done what he’s done,” Behrends said.”

He served for 20+ years. Now do Trump.

A great thing about is he was a high school teacher. He knows how to answer stupid questions from the media and deal with immature people.

Conservatives are elated by this pick. This is not good. They were way more scared of moderate picks like Shapiro and Kelly. A sampling:

I am not sure what anyone would expect the right to say. The guy is a traditional liberal and basically the midwest populist that JD Vance tries to be, but isn't.

Conservatives had a line of attack ready to go for whoever picked. Their immediate takes are not credible.

I'm very glad she picked someone with such substantial governing and legislative experience. It's reassuring.

They need to release this video of him surrounded by children as he signs the free lunch law, and juxtapose that with Vance telling his child to shut up about Pokémon.

It's almost as if people know it's wrong, especially when the video featured a 6 year old child the parents are transitioning. If you are proud of something you would want the world to see it not hide it.

It's not something I support but among the many great things he's done, it's not enough to switch my vote to a party of anti-children, anti-women weirdos who want kids without education, food, healthcare, and who want their own wives dead from lack of access to safe reproductive healthcare.

I don't think I could ever vote for the orange and couch lad. They're just too weird.

And transitioning 6 year olds is not weird???

It's evil and child abuse.

Agreed. And yet Walz is ok with it and thinks Minnesota is a model for the rest of the country.

When Kamala was CA Attorney General she pushed for tax payer funded sex changes/cosmetic surgery for violent criminals. She also supported these biological males to be housed with female inmates resulting in rapes. These are the type of radical policies the leftists support.

Since 2017 CA has spent more than $4 million of taxpayer money on surgical sex changes and cosmetic “gender-affirming” enhancements for 157 inmates, including 4 on death row. The state has spent nearly $2.5 million on vaginoplasties and hundreds of thousands of dollars on fake breasts, laser hair removal, and facial feminization since 2017, when California became the first state in the nation to pay for prisoners’ sex-change operations

What's with this obsession with gender changes, MAGAs? You all have their really weird obsession with this. I'd rather spend my time thinking about the issues that impact the vast majority of us, which Harris-Walz are much, much better at addressing.

People should want to protect the most innocent among us....children. Republicans weren't focused on this at all until Democrats decided to push this gender ideology onto kids and celebrate 6 year olds transitioning. I agree it is a minor issue compared to other things facing our country, but when children are potentially getting harmed we need to stand up against it not celebrate it.

He is 60.

He looks like he’s 80 years old though. So I’m not sure this matters unfortunately.

His mind is sharp sharp sharp.

Plus he loves cats. And dogs.
