Did Command Sergeant Major Walz serve during wartime?

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

Attacks are accusing Walz of feigning a record in active combat: "[Walz] said - and he was making a point about gun control - he said, ‘we shouldn't allow weapons that I used in war, to be on America's streets.' "Well, I wonder (said JD Vance), Tim Walz, when you ever in war?"

Vance has been exposed actually misquoting Walz in one of his screeds.

In the clip Vance was referencing, Walz says that he "carried" weapons in war, not "used." Given that Operation Enduring Freedom was a part of the post-9/11 War on Terror, and that Walz was deployed to Italy under it - and likely had a service weapon - the claim that he is engaging in "stolen valor" holds little water.

Vance spoke on Wednesday as if he served more honorably than Walz, noting that he went to Iraq "I did it, I did what they asked me to do and I did it honorably," he said The senator was deployed for six months in Iraq as a combat correspondent in 2005 as part of the Marines' Public Affairs office. He - like Walz - never engaged in active combat and has stated that he was "lucky to escape any real fighting," during his deployment.

"Though Walz did achieve the rank of command sergeant major, it was a provisional rank until he completed required coursework for senior leaders, National Guard officials said. He did not do so by the time he departed the military and his retirement rank reverted to master sergeant on May 15, 2005, officials said."

The people-of-the-cult need to stop disrespecting military men and women in order to go after Walz

Timpon deserted his men. Typical weak cowardly leftist.

That's not the question. The question is did Walz serve in a war. There's a distinct difference. One Im quite sure is lost on you and Procrustes Stretched

Well the government lists "Operation Enduring Freedom" as part of a war.

Walz serviced his country admirably. It is just the Trump cult that hate the military because their leader has called those that have served the nation "losers" and "suckers."

Deserting your troops is only admirable in leftist land.

Like I said I was quite certain the distinction would be lost on you. Th ask for confirming

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Yes.

Walz served in a war. He never saw combat. All troops during wartime have served during war.

 

[Couchpotato]

So the guys in his unit who are speaking out against him are hypocrites? This guy knows better than they do somehow the nature of Walz service?

 

[Couchpotato]

Yes.

Walz served in a war. He never saw combat. All troops during wartime have served during war.

In a war during a war. 2 different things. Again lost on the guy who’s done neither.

 

[SeaMajor7]

Carried.. yes. Always said he carried weapons during war, Not a comvbat vet.

All vets during a war carried weapons, not just combat vets

and great video of him!

It's a political ad to vote for a common sense gun guy

The quote has been posted.
It shows you up as moronic dufus

His quote:
‘we shouldn't allow weapons that I used in war, to be on America's streets"

He NEVER used any weapons in war.

 

[Frankeneinstein]

^This^ is a liberal Rorschach test isn't it? part of a college entrance exam?

 

[kyzr]

Of course he served during wartime.

You're lying your ass off.

His quote is:
‘we shouldn't allow weapons that I used in war, to be on America's streets'

he NEVER used any weapons in war.

 

[westwall]

Nope.

Walz never lied like that. You provide credible links and Walz will have to go.

Command Sergeant Major Walz served during wartime​

Operation Enduring Freedom was the official name used by the U.S. government for both the first stage of the War in Afghanistan and the larger-scale Global War on Terrorism.

Many families of veterans who served during Operation Enduring Freedom will be voting. MAGA watch out.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

Nope.

Walz never lied like that. You provide credible links and Walz will have to go.

Who do you think took more fire Timpon or Hillary when she landed in Afghanistan?
Why do democrats always lie about military involvement?

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

So the guys in his unit who are speaking out against him are hypocrites? This guy knows better than they do somehow the nature of Walz service?

What guys in his unit?

You mean the guy that sent a paid letter to a new org?

Mr. Vance based his accusations on a Facebook post from 2018, and a paid letter to the editor to The West Central Tribune that same year in which the writers, Thomas Behrends and Paul Herr, both retired command sergeant majors in the Minnesota National Guard, accused Mr. Walz of “conveniently retiring a year before his battalion was deployed to Iraq.”

The criticisms were first leveled by Mr. Behrends and Mr. Herr during Mr. Walz’s first campaign for governor.


what about this fact:

Walz has faced such attacks before, including in his re-election campaign in 2022, when his GOP opponent questioned his decision to leave the service in 2005. Walz’s campaign responded with a letter signed by 50 veterans praising his record and leadership.
