[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did any of those guys serve with Walz?[/quote]
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.[/quote]

Calling you out is not “disinformation “.  You are being dishonest and yes, you’re going to be called out on that.

Lots of us understand how promotions and retirement work and your hyper-partisan spin on this man’s noble service is not going to fly. [/quote]

What’s the dishonesty?[/quote]

I - and others- have addressed that numerous times in a couple threads. I’m not going to engage with you. If you are or were ever in the service, your hyper partisanship is unprofessional, unethical, and a stain on the military. Be better. [/quote]
