TheQuartering (@TheQuartering) ~ Kamala Harris VP Pick, Tim Walz just got VAPORIZED by his battalion commander over Stolen Valor.
This is a reasonable view of Tim Walz' military service.
1. Walz served in the National Guard, and by all accounts, served adequately - therefore, he is to be commended and thanked for his service.
2. Walz' National Guard service was basically one weekend each month plus a two-week period each year over a 24-year period (equates to about 2.5 years of full-time service), while Vance's service in the U.S. Marines was 24/7 from 2003 to 2007 with a six-month deployment in Iraq.
3. Walz was fully aware that his National Guard unit was up for deployment to Iraq before he made his decision to quit and walk away from his comrades. However, this decision to cut and run was his to make. Okay ... fine ... it shows a disturbing lack of commitment and responsibility that certainly opens him up to criticism, but he was free to make this decision.
4. Walz has LIED for YEARS and YEARS that he carried weapons in a combat theater and that he was actually a Command Sergeant Major (he quit before he completed the requirements). He did so to illegitimately puff himself up for political gain. THIS is what shows him to be woefully undeserving to hold any office - period. He is not to be trusted.
It's Over. Done. KAPUT! Tim Walz's Commanding Officer Just DROPPED the Mother of All Truth Bombs and DAMN
