You can lie about stolen valor, but you can’t let veterans forget about it

So, we’re finding out that, like a monkey cage, Tim Walz is full of crap. Because, unlike the Harris campaign, people are actually vetting him. Especially the veteran part. And he’s about to be exempt from the biggest highlight of his resume, namely his military service with the Army National Guard. As the Washington Free Beacon noted, when Walz first ran for Congress in 2006, his campaign described him as a “veteran.” Operation Enduring Freedom“This would normally apply to someone who served on the ground in Afghanistan during the war on terror. But for him, it wasn’t in Afghanistan, but in Italy, more like Operation Enjoying Freedom. Here he is in 2007, after being elected to Congress, talking about his time during that operation.

Tim Walz: I spent 24 years in the National Guard, some of them full-time. I was an artillery man. I deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. My battalion provided base security throughout the European theater from Turkey to England in the early stages of the war in Afghanistan. And that same battalion is now in Iraq right now.

What does Tim Walz think about Israel?

Now it seems he was a lot closer to the battlefield than he really could have been. In fact, he was stationed at a base in Italy. He wasn’t facing live fire in Operation Enduring Freedom, it was more like Operation Enduring Pasta. I’m kidding. And in 2009, a local veteran walked into his Minnesota office and asked the employee if it was possible to make the false assumption that he had served in Afghanistan based on his website’s bio. And the employee said maybe.

Harris campaign withdraws Walz biography amid ‘Stolen Valor’ controversy, as questions arise

So the vet suggested, hey, maybe you should change it to say Walz served in Italy. But Walz’s office did nothing, although they did offer the vet a case of military-grade tampons.

then there are two Fellow National Guard Who said in 2022 that Walz had reached the rank of command sergeant major but did not complete the coursework to retain that rank before retiring at a lower rank, which the Minnesota National Guard confirmed. Yet, even on his website, he still calls himself the command sergeant major. Apparently, his resume has more padding than Joy Behar’s toilet seat.

So did he lie about his rank to fulfill his political ambitions, just as he managed to avoid war? Does it matter? When your job is to lead young men into battle but your desire is to have dinner with someone Barrack and Mitchell More importantly, you probably had no right to lead anyone to begin with. And yet, the Harris campaign posted this video of Walz explaining that the weapons he uses in combat should never be taken anywhere other than on the battlefield.

Tim Walz: I spent 25 years in the military, and I paid the money back. And I’ll tell you what I’m doing. I’m voting for common-sense legislation that protects the Second Amendment. But we can do background checks. We can do CDC research. We can make sure that there aren’t reciprocal weapons between states, and we can make sure that those weapons of war that I carried into battle are the only place those weapons work.

He would then tell us he used his bayonet to carve butter. But if Tim Walz said that, we would be very surprised. the weapons they used in battle And he didn’t have any weapons, so doesn’t that mean we can keep all our weapons? Great. I want the Abrams tank. Then again, he’s never been to a combat zone, unless you count his stateside during the George Floyd riots. In fact, when his unit was called up for deployment to Iraq after he was appointed as the acting senior enlisted leader, he declined to run for Congress. But now even CNN is calling him out.

CNN Guest: Walz made a comment while speaking to a group, he’s done this multiple times where he’s used language that suggests he held weapons in a combat position. There’s a difference between being in a combat zone, being involved in combat time, and actually being in a situation where people are shooting at you. There’s no evidence that at any point, Governor Walz was seen to be in a position to be shot at, and some of his language could easily suggest that he was in a position to be shot at. So that’s absolutely false.

Oh my god —- it’s CNN! I know. Wow. Who did Walz piss off? Did he steal a copy of Jake Tapper’s Juggs magazine? Meanwhile, Listen to the Minnesota Senator Tina Smith compared Walz to J.D. Vance.

Sen. Tina Smith: Well, here’s Tim Walz, who joined the military at 17. He served in the National Guard for 24 years. And I’m not aware of any military service that J.D. Vance ever served in. So let’s just make the comparison right there.

Let’s not do that, Tina. First of all, you’re missing the main point. No one is accusing Vance of lying, and it’s hard to believe you don’t know about any military service Vance has done. What else don’t you know? Did you steal John Denver’s hair? In fact, Brian Williams got demoted for lying like that and that’s the closest he’s ever gotten to war, right near Matt Lauer’s office. But apparently, the new strategy here is to muddy the waters. Right, Nance?

Andrew Mitchell of MSNBCJ.D. Vance has criticized him, saying he never participated in combat.

Nancy Pelosi: Has he? Has she? Has J.D. Vance been involved in the war?

Andrea Mitchell: Well, I think he was in Iraq.,

I guess. Wow, that’s just some reporters. Now, Nance, JD never said he was at war, unlike Walz, who you could hear clearly if your last face lift hadn’t blocked your ears. The strangest thing, however, is from Mayor Pete, who wrote, “Discrediting a soldier’s service Discrediting a woman’s citizenship based on whether or not she has children based on being deployed to a combat zone.” So I guess two months of paternity leave makes him an expert at having children? This is the worst comparison ever. A non-deployed soldier is like a childless woman?

Maybe if the childless woman would tell people she gets benefits if she has children. Mayor Pete manages to derail trains and conversations. So it seems Democrats only fight when it’s political, then they circle the wagons. The problem is what they are defending for many Americans is inexcusable. You can lie about stolen valor, but you can’t let veterans forget about it.
