Did Command Sergeant Major Walz serve during wartime?

[sartre play]

Your OP is a Lie. He did not serve as a CSM. He FLED instead of fulfilling his obligation after completing the course

MAGA MOTTO, Attack attack attack,
Keeps people away from looking for solutions, stirs the pot fuel the hate.

 

[Concerned American]

He said he couldn't remember which foot it was on. You believe that?

Prove it, mouth.

Um, Commiela has zero policy papers on her campaign site, Simp.

All she has is ORANGE MAN BAD!

You clowns are a hoot.

 

[Leviticus]

Medics carry weapons too. That doesn't mean they are a combat role. Most soldiers outside of the chsplain Corps carry weapons. And we WERE a war when Walz was serving active duty. Did he see combat? No. He never said he did. L

 

[CowboyTed]

His rank was too high for combat? He was a Sgt. Major! You don't think Sgt's. fight in combat? You really are clueless, Ted.

Command Sergeant Major which was his role in the Army would see at E9. Waltz was promoted to that rank temporaily and he was just lacking the course work to make it permanent. He wasn't getting demoted from that if he stayed.

They don't see combat.

Wow, ye do have an alternative reality....

 

[Weatherman2020]

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

What it says a lot about is that you believe all of that bullshit! The reason that the rank and file military loves Donald Trump is that he DOES care about them and they know it!

Problem is I SHOWED YOU that it's true. And you ignored it.

That's what this is about. Reality is out the window.

 

[candycorn]

Nope, he lied about his service in Italy, he didn't carry a damn thing in war and you just admitted it. That's what we're holding against him. You commies can keep trying to play all these semantics games, but it won't alter the FACT that he lied about his service to pad his resume.

.

We had a war in Italy?

No fuckface, what you’re holding against him is that he’s the Dem Party choice for VP and your boy is slipping in the polls.

Its amazing what can happen when you have a campaign that talks about hope and inclusion vs. the 24/7 doom and gloom that you get off on.

 

[candycorn]

Who was the President who shut down Bagram Air Base and got 13 Marines killed trying to guard an indefensible air base inside of Kabul?

They were actually killed by terrorists. Nearly all Presidents in modern times have lost troops to terrorism. Do you really (I almost said “honestly” but we both know honesty isa foreign concept to you) think Reagan didn’t care for the military using your criteria?

I'll give you a hint...it wasn't Trump! He wouldn't have done something so monumentally stupid.

Yeah, he had 4 years to show his concern and get our troops home--like he promised. He didn’t do jack shit except sign the surrender paper to the terrorist organization--the Taliban. He wanted to have them over to Camp David but in brief bet of sanity...he was talked out of it.

Trump set up the withdrawal and then Joe Biden FUBARED it! It's what Joe does! It's what he's done for decades! You on the left saddled the country with that idiot, Candy so you're fully as responsible for the deaths of those 13 Marines as Biden is!

Yeah, he surrendered to the Taliban.

and then Joe Biden FUBARED it!

True. He botched the withdraw that Trump wasn't man enough to do.

It's what Joe does! It's what he's done for decades! You on the left saddled the country with that idiot, Candy so you're fully as responsible for the deaths of those 13 Marines as Biden is!

I guess that also means that I'm "fully responsible" for the dow closing over 40,000. You should be thanking me.

LOL... so if I had voted for Reagan, I'm responsible for 287 dead marines in Beirut? Wow...it takes a special kind of dumbass to think like you. If ignorance ever goes to $50 a barrel, can I have drilling rights on your head?

Yeah, commie bitch, we had a war in Italy, it ended more than a decade and a half before your fraud master sergeant was born. Ya think that's the war he claimed to have carried a weapon in? I'm sure you commies would find a way to justify it if it was. Carry on treasonous bitch.

[candycorn]

He actually served in the guard...unlike your blob. No wonder you're so upset.

Is that supposed to impress me. I served 21.5 years active duty and another 4.5 in the reserves. Oh, and I actually carried a weapon in war. So I know what that phrase means. Too bad your fraud commie doesn't.

[Missouri_Mike]

He was 4 years after retirement age...

He was running for congress and he asked himself which would be better for the troops, him deployed to Iraq (not in combat, his rank was too high for that) or working in congress...

He choose the Congress route and worked tirelessly for both active soldiers and veterans.

So that is your big deal... Waltz wasn't going to see action, as in bullets flying and him leading over the top any more than Vance was... There is no bravery thing here, this was about where was he most effective.

So he was good enough to collect the paychecks and the benefits right up until a month before doing the actual job. Then he decided to give it up. What a hero.

Which to be clear is all fine. It was when he started lying about his service and rank it all went to shit. If he hadn’t done that there wouldn’t be any issues.

 

[Billo_Really]

I think trump should have served

Even lib flakes like al gore and john kerry answered the call while Clinton and trump didnt

Back in the ‘90’s the usual democrat suspects defended clionton and he was allowed to be president

For that libs have lost the moral authority to throw the first stone at trump now

Okay, we are in agreement here.

 

[Billo_Really]

So he could play running back but not serve in the military? Really, Billo? (eye roll)

That's right! Running back is a very stressful position.

 

[Billo_Really]

Prove it, mouth.

He made it all up!

Someone has no integrity in any way in any manner.

He filed paperwork to retire six months before deployment was announced

And a year before they deployed
