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?

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.

That’s what people are saying. He’s the turd democrats have smeared glitter on, but a sparkly turd is a sparkly turd.

Where have I heard that before?

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.

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?
