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

[Blisterfinger]

Welp, I'm not in with whatever your CULT is trying to sell. But nonetheless, LOL

But you are a presumptuous asshole, cultish and ignorant. Don't you have a bridge to block somewhere? Hahaha

Yeah .. the man that retired right before deploying to a known foreign, hostile environment, and had his retirement pay grade downgraded because he didn't finish qualifications (just a few months before his enlistment was to be completed). He's paid at an E-8 level (Master Sergeant), and not the E-9 level (Command Master Sergeant) he claims to be or that's being published by the media. He was downgraded.

Fucking coward.

He retired about a YEAR before his battalion was deployed and mobilized to Iraq. He abandoned no one.

His retirement was approved by the National Guard and his superior Officer.

He retired because he wanted a change of his career and service to this country by becoming a congressman .....and as an enlisted active military, he was limited in what he could talk about politically while campaigning.

I'm quite sure the Maine economy will just be fantastic under Harris/Walz. Right? Aren't you?

They'll do just fine under Harris....

Trump damn near killed our Lobster industry with his tariff Trade war with China....

https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/01/politics/tariffs-trump-maine-lobster/index.html

How lobsters got caught in the crossfire​

Lobsters were one of the first products to get hit with a tariff from China. Until it went into effect, China was Maine’s second biggest customer, buying nearly $129 million worth of lobster in 2017. But exports plunged 84% during the first 11 months after the tariff was imposed, according to the Maine International Trade Center.

While soybean growers and other farmers who have been hit with duties have received billions of dollars in aid from the Trump administration to help them weather the tariffs, lobster sellers were not included in that package.

Trump maintains that his trade war isn’t dragging down the economy

Inflation and housing prices humming along too I bet

Inflation and housing prices humming along too I bet

We are doing just fine.

There is nothing Trump has to offer on improving those things like inflation, just his stupid "Drill baby drill" as the solution....

You're an idiot.

You're an idiot.

Except Biden actually did that

You're an idiot.

You are projecting

Walz was in the armed forces

Orange Jesus was a scared little bitch and got out because of "bone spurs"

LOL

Biden, obama and clinton never served either

The problem isn't that Walz didn't serve in war, the problem is he lied and said he did.

So "stolen valor" is a true charge.

Nope. He put in for early retirement 6 MONTHS before deployment and AFTER his until had received early notification OF that deployment.

Nope! He retired in early May, they were given official orders of deployment in late July, and they spent months training, and actually did not MOBILIZE to Iraq the following March is what I have read, and then spent 22 months there. (I first read it was a November mobilization, but then read it was March of the following year)

After 20 years service, you can resign at any time, there are no restrictions to hold a retiree back....and they retire with honor.

He was running for Congress as a career change for the second half of his life...
And having difficulty campaigning, with the Military restrictions he held, with his campaigning speech about people holding office and politics....he felt he had to end his 24 year career in the NG.

YOU, DO NOT GET TO MAKE THAT DECISION FOR HIM....

My father was in for 22 years USAF, and my father was a Chief Master Sergeant, which was the highest rank that he could go as an enlisted man, equivalent to the Army Command Sergeant Major, he signed up for a 3 year term in a Communication squadron in Italy at a NATO base there....after being there 2 1/2 years, before completing his assignment tour of 3 years, decided to retire so we could go back to the US, (because my mother's father became ill....)

So, he retired 6 months before he had planned when he signed up for the 3 year term assignment.

He was celebrated and retired with honor....

If you'd ever been in the military at a reasonably high rank (such as CSM) you'd KNOW that you receive reliable, though unofficial, alert as much as a year prior to actual deployment. I was relatively low ranked for my first Vietnam deployment in 1965 (E5) but got alerted 3 MONTHS ahead of the deployment. Our unit's CSM knew 6 months ahead of time.
