Yeah, Vance was a combat correspondent with the U.S. Marines Public Affairs office in Iraq, but that doesn't mean he wasn't shot at or otherwise in harm's way.
Democrats can't quite figure out what to do with JD Vance. They've gone from making up stories about couches to claiming he didn't really serve and all to somehow make Tim Walz look like less of a douchebag, and still, none of it really sticks. We suppose it's difficult to take someone like Vance, who actually did serve his country and went to Iraq, apart - especially when all you really have to offer is a cowardly hosebag who lied about deserting his people.
JD Vance (@JDVance) ~ You know what really bothers me about Tim Walz? When the US Marine Corps asked me to go to Iraq to serve my country, I did it. When Tim Walz was asked by his country to go to Iraq, he dropped out of the Army and allowed his unit to go without him. I think that's shameful.

Well, it wouldn't be quite so bad if Walz would quit LYING by telling people he carried weapons into war just to puff himself up.
Kinzinger jumped in to step on his ... other foot.
Ahem.
Adam Kinzinger gave it a whirl though and yes, it went as badly as you'd expect. It all started here:
Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) (@AdamKinzinger) ~ Ok. JD served honorably, but he wasn’t kicking down doors. He was in public affairs. Which again, is fine and honorable. Tim, after he was eligible for retirement, retired. People do that. If it was a real problem he would have been “stop lossed” and prevented from retiring.
Joey Jones went straight beast mode:
Joey Jones (@Johnny_Joey) ~ I sat behind a .50 cal machine gun in Iraq on roads littered with IEDs. I walked around Afghanistan taking IEDs apart by hand.
In Iraq and Afghanistan, even pencil-pushers were vulnerable to rockets and mortars landing on their heads (see Al Asad this week). A chow hall at that very same base was hit in 2007 just before I got there.
I lost more than one buddy to friendly fire in Afghanistan and from foreign nationals on a secured base.
Everyone on a base in Iraq or Afghanistan got combat pay because they were literally surrounded by a capable enemy.
Adam is a bona fide shit bird for even posting this.
Ooooh ... Kinzinger just got scorched!
Goldenrod (@hikeharwood) ~ {Replying to @Johnny_Joey} Thank you Joey, someone had to explain it to him. And thank you for your continued service.
William Young 1776 (@CaliCard1) ~ {Replying to @Johnny_Joey} One of the things I like about you is that you're a real dude. Would have been proud to have you as one of my guys.
Indeed.
Adam, on the other hand, it the kind of guy who thinks pandering to people who hate him for political gain is a good idea.
Yeah.
Mark Oliva (@MarkOlivaTweets) ~ {Replying to @Johnny_Joey} I was public affairs in Iraq and Afghanistan. I was shot at plenty and blown up a couple times. Thankfully unscathed. Unfortunately, I sent two public affairs Marines home with life-altering wounds. @AdamKinzinger might want to think again about trying to war-shame Marines.
The ignorant pussies over on the Further Freedom From Thought Board should do the same.
9-1-1? Need to Report a MURDER! Joey Jones DROPS Bona Fide S**t Bird Adam Kinzinger for Trashing JD Vance
