Veterans Groups Hit Back At J D Vance For Claiming Tim Walz Had Stolen Valor

[jbrownson0831]

No one believes Vance's ridiculous lie.

You mean you Dimtards refuse to believe the truth.

 

[jbrownson0831]

You got caught. And continue doubling down on stupid.

You think these vets groups aren't going to stand behind Walz?

You think the Minnesota National Guard is going to back up your bullshit.

You're a loser. In every sense of the word. And I don't care what your background is. Loser.

Come on skrewey, your comic book failed you again. The guy is a loser and lied.

Tim Walz's own words, 7/29/2006, my emphasis...

"Open debate, clear understanding critical

On Saturday The Free Press printed a letter which implied I embellished my military record. The details of my record can be easily found in numerous articles by The Free Press and other newspapers. Therefore, I must assume that the letter is meant to slander my good name.

For the record, I served 24 years in the Army National Guard and retired as a command sergeant major in May of 2005. I served in three NATO training missions to the Arctic and deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, serving in Italy in 2003-2004.

Last week my opponent admitted his inability to understand issues of national security when he did an about face and publicly acknowledged two things I’ve been saying all along — Baghdad is a mess and the information coming out of this administration is unreliable.

Open debate and a clear understanding of who the candidates are is critical in ensuring we have the most representative and honest government possible. Using innuendo to defame a candidate’s character has no place in this debate. This nation must do better because we have too many important issues facing us to do anything less.

He lied...

Army Lieutenant Colonel Kristen Augé, the state public affairs officer for Minnesota National Guard, told Just the News on Wednesday that the governor did not retire as "Command Sergeant Major Walz" in 2005, as stated on Minnesota's official website, but as master sergeant "because he did not complete additional coursework at the U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy." A soldier who does not complete the requisite coursework is automatically demoted, according to Army regulations.

The Minnesota National Guard said Walz retired as a "master sergeant," not a "command sergeant major," as his biography states.

And here, he uses wishy-washy language to imply he served in combat...

Walz' words, 2/17/2006...

"Walz served overseas with his battalion in support of Operation Enduring Freedom."

Tim Walz for United States Congress - Biography

When asked about his service in Afghanistan, Walz did not deny it (April 10, 2006)...


MNCampaignReport: You're a school teacher and veteran of post 9/11 military operations in Afghanistan. How have these experiences prepared you to serve in Congress?

T. Walz: I sure never prepared my life around a run for Congress, but my life has prepared me well. My experience as a public school classroom teacher (and son of a teacher) has taught me the importance of investing in our children and investing in our communities. My military service has taught me the importance of giving back to our country and keeping our committments to those who serve. Authentic experiences are what has prepared me to serve in Congress.

MNCampaignReport: Is there any particular image from your service overseas, particularly in Afghanistan, that really drives you on the campaign trail, or was the political frustration you experienced upon your return to the states a bigger factor?

T. Walz: I have a lifelong commitment to public service, and to making our country better. The divisiveness I've seen in politics is unhealthy for this country and something I am working to correct.

T. Walz: My service in support of Operation Enduring Freedom was in flightline security in Europe.
