You can lie about stolen courage, but you can’t make veterans forget it

So, we find that Tim Waltz is like a monkey cage filled with garbage. Because, unlike the Harris campaign, people are actually scrutinizing him. Especially the veterinary part. He is about to move on from the biggest highlight on his resume, his service in the Army National Guard. As the Washington Free Beacon noted, when Walz first ran for Congress in 2006, his campaign described him as an “veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom,” which generally applied to service in Afghanistan during the War on Terror. people. But to him, this was more like Operation Freedom in Italy than Afghanistan. After he was elected to Congress in 2007, he was talking about his experience in that operation.

Tim Waltz: I served in the National Guard for 24 years, part of which was full time. I’m an artilleryman. I deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. During the early stages of the war in Afghanistan, my battalion provided base security throughout the European theater of operations from Turkey to the United Kingdom. The battalion is in Iraq at this time.

Where does Tim Waltz stand on Israel?

Now it sounds like he’s much closer to the battlefield than he actually is. In fact, he was deployed to a base in Italy. He didn’t take live fire in Operation Enduring Freedom, it was more like Operation Enduring Spaghetti. I’m kidding. In 2009, a local veteran came to the Minnesota office and asked staff if it was possible that his website resume mistakenly thought he served in Afghanistan. The staff said maybe.

Harris campaign returns to Walz bio amid ‘Stolen Courage’ controversy

So the vet suggested, hey, maybe you should change it to say Walz served in Italy. But Walz’s office took no action, although they did provide the veterinarian with a box of military-grade tampons.

Two other National Guard comrades said that Walz was promoted to the rank of sergeant major in 2022 but did not complete the courses to maintain that rank before retiring at a lower rank, which was also confirmed by the Minnesota National Guard. However, even on his own website, he still refers to himself as the command sergeant major. Apparently, his resume is worth more than Joey Behar’s toilet seat.

So, just as he managed to avoid war, did he lie about his military rank to further his political ambitions? Does it matter? When your job is to lead young people in war, but your desire to eat with Barack and Michelle is more important, you’re probably not qualified to lead anyone in the first place. However, the Harris campaign just released this video of Walz talking about how the weapons he carried in war should not be allowed anywhere other than the battlefield.

Tim Waltz: I served in the military for 25 years and I paid the money back. I’ll tell you what I’ve been doing. I have always voted for common sense legislation that protects the Second Amendment. But we can do background checks. We can do the CDC study. We can make sure that countries don’t carry each other, and we can make sure that those weapons of war that I carry in war are the only places where those weapons are effective.

Next he would tell us that he used a bayonet to carve the ghee. But if Tim Walz says we should ban the weapons he carried in war, and he didn’t carry any, does that mean we can keep all the weapons? Great. I want an Abrams tank. Then again, he’s never been to a war zone, unless you count the state he was in during the George Floyd riots. In fact, after he was named acting senior enlisted leader, he gave up running for Congress when his troops were called upon to deploy to Iraq. But now even CNN is criticizing him.

CNN News Network Guest: Walz did make comments in a group of people, which he has done several times, using language that suggested he was carrying a weapon in a combat situation. There’s a difference between being in a combat zone, being involved in a time of war, and actually being in a position where people are shooting at you. There is no evidence that Governor Walz was in a position to be shot at any time, and some of his language makes it easy to see that he was. So this is absolutely wrong.

Oh my god – that’s CNN! I know. Wow. Who did Waltz offend? Did he steal one of Jake Tapper’s Juggs magazines? In the meantime, listen to Minnesota Sen. Tina Smith compare Walz to J.D. Vance.

Sentina Smith: This is Tim Walz, who enlisted in the Army when he was 17 years old. He served in the National Guard for 24 years. I had no idea JD Vance had served in the military. So let’s compare there.

Let’s not do this, Tina. First, you’re missing the point. No one accused Vance of lying, and it’s hard to believe that you didn’t know that Vance had served in the military. What else don’t you know? Did you steal John Denver’s haircut? The truth is, lies like this got Brian Williams demoted, and the closest he got to a fight was right next to Matt Lauer’s office. But clearly the new strategy here is to muddy the waters. Right, Nance?

MSNBC’s Andrew Mitchell: JD Vance criticizes him for never having been in a fight.

Nancy Pelosi: Does he have it? Does he have it? Did J.D. Vance fight?

Andrea Mitchell: Well, I think he’s in Iraq already.

I think. Wow, these are just some reporters. Now, Nance, JD never said he was fighting, unlike Walz, which you would have heard clearly if your last facelift hadn’t blocked your ears. The strangest opinion, however, came from Mayor Pete, who wrote, “Discrediting a soldier’s service based on whether he was deployed to a combat zone is like discrediting a woman’s citizenship based on whether she has children.” So I guess two months of paternity leave made him an expert on giving birth? This is the worst analogy ever. A non-deployed soldier is like a childless woman?

A childless woman might be able to get benefits if she told people if she had children. Mayor Pete manages to derail the train and the conversation. So it seems like Democrats only fight on political issues and then they circle the wagons. The problem is that what they are defending for many Americans is untenable. You can lie about stolen courage, but you can’t make veterans forget it.
