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.

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.

Amd Walz still a FLAKE and a Stolen Valor loser

 

[CrusaderFrank]

If you're willing and able to lie about your military service, what's off the table?

 

[EvilEyeFleegle]

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) began his Wednesday this week by attacking his vice-presidential opponent, Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), for supposedly misleading people about his 24-year service. According to Vance, Walz is deploying "stolen valor" to promote himself.

Veterans and pro-vet groups, however, are hitting back at Vance for questioning Walz's service and rank.

"We're setting the record straight," Vote Vets said with a post on the social media site X. They created a graph showing the "fact and fiction" of Walz's military record. Among the fictional claims, "Walz retired because he knew he was going to deploy to Iraq. Walz is using a rank he didn't attain and that's Stolen Valor."

Vote Vets labeled this claim "Bulls--t," and then explained why.

"Tim submitted his retirement request to the U.S. Army National Guard months prior to the notification of his unit's deployment," they explained. "His unit was fully sourced (staffed), and his request was approved. He retired in May 2005."

On the claim about his rank, the group called that "Bulls--t," as well.

"The Minnesota National Guard says it's bulls--t," they write. "It is entirely accurate to describe Tim as having been a Command Sergeant Major -- the rank under which he served -- and the Minnesota National Guard has emphasized in public statements that he can be referred to as such."

Veterans For Responsible Leadership, a non-partisan advocacy group, similarly posted a photo of Walz where he was coaching football. "Do you notice what shirt he's wearing," the org asked. "It's Mission 22 - a great organization with the great mission of preventing veteran suicide. He walks the walk."

Walz served on the House Veterans Affairs Committee when he was in Congress.

Afghanistan veteran and director of Common Defense Perry O'Brien similarly called out Vance saying, "Veterans who attack each other's service are weird." He championed Walz and his service.

You can bet they will...long after all the rational adults have moved on, they'll still be bleating 'stolen valor' right next to 'rigged election' and 'born in Kenya'.

We are glossing over the FATASS ORANGE JESUS FRAT DODGER.

Thank goodness we don't have any of those around, they sound scary.

Do these look like history's most prolific Progressive mass murderers??????

He clearly says right here "those weapons of war, that I carried in war".

Listen to it yourself then:

If he'll lie about this, he'll lie about anything!

And the dishonest drooling Progressive minions LOVE that he'll lie to them about it

 

[Dragonlady]

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.

The National Guard just debunked that lie, and you're stupid enough to try repeating it again. You clowns need new material, or at least to fact check shit before posting it.


You need to have a thought before you jotathought.
