Did Command Sergeant Major Walz serve during wartime?

[westwall]

Really?

War zone? What war zone?

Afghanistan

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

Afghanistan

He said he was in Afghanistan? Hmm...

 

[Hollie]

Walz served honorably for 24 years. How long did Vance serve? They want to play this game of Swiftboating because they fear Harris/Walz winning.

He didn’t serve so honorably according to the men who say he abandoned them.

 

[Mac-7]

"In war" is not "in combat"

Stop disrespecting the service of a veteran who gave up over two decades of his life to serve honorably in the US military. Over two decades.

I doubt if many people would agree with you on that

Even libs if they happen to not be hip to the current Walz political fiasco

 

[westwall]

Sure was. As noted he was deployed overseas during a war

Oh gee, I was never in the military but according to your moronic logic I could make the same claim!

 

[Hollie]

There was no war in Italy at the time Walz was there.

 

[westwall]

He said he was in Afghanistan? Hmm...

Yeah, dummy. That's why he is accused of stolen valor.

Try and keep up, m'kay...

There is no evidence that Walz timed his departure with the intent of avoiding deployment. But the fact remains that he left ahead of his unit’s departure. In a statement, the Harris campaign pushed back on GOP characterizations of Walz’s service, and also noted that he advocated for veterans once he was elected to the U.S. House.

Here's a look at questions about Tim Walz's military record

Republicans are questioning Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s characterization of his time in uniform and his departure from military service.

Harris’ campaign has referred to Walz as a “retired Command Sergeant Major,” one of the top ranks for an enlisted soldier. He did in fact achieve that rank, but personnel files show he was reduced in rank months after retiring. That left him as a master sergeant for benefits purposes.

 

[Mac-7]

You cannot defend anybody with "But Ma, little Donnie did it too?" Try that in a court of law. Even with a speeding ticket that is no defense. LOL

The fact is that Harris didnt serve either

 

[westwall]

He never claimed to be a combat vet

Ya know what weapon he was carrying when he was deployed?

An AR which was the point he was making

Yeah he did you liar, that's why his campaign had to trot out the old "he mispoke" little lie!

Not what his fellow soldiers say. Who to believe, them, or some bullshit internet posting?

Many do agree. Your doubts are unfounded.

He achieved a conditional rank of Command Sergeant Major but never met the educational requirements.

There is every evidence that Walz chose retirement in order not to be deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan.

Screw your pointless cut and paste slogans.

 

[Billo_Really]

Women were allowed to serve in the military by the time Harris came of age

So she could have served if so inclined

So could've Trump, but he made up some bullshit issue not to serve.

Kamala did not!

Fuck Trump! And fuck anyone who supports him!

 

[Mac-7]

Its not a make or break campaign issue

But not insignificant either

True!

There is every evidence that Walz chose retirement in order not to be deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan.

He also had operational requirements that he had to fulfill, going into a combat zone with his unit was part of that.

Thus he fled.

So long as his national guard unit stayed out of dangerous places he was a brave little soldier.

The second he found out they were headed for a combat zone he ran away.

And all the while he was engaged with the Chinese communist party.
