At least get the excuse making for him accurate. He has never run for, nor served in, a Senate, whether U.S. or state. He quit in 2005 to run in the 2006 U.S. House race.
Luckily, there are no draft-dodging felons on the republican ticket. Then, bringing up this marginal issue would be a really stupid thing to do. It could, you know, backfire a little bit.
One of them is literally his speech with Kamala yesterday when he discussed an assault weapons ban by referencing the “weapons of war he carried in war.” The closest he got to war was Italy, and he was in an artillery unit.
More draft dodging bull shit coming from the side that elected a bigger draft dodger than "old Bonespurs" The same doctor who signed Biden's release to play football signed his draft exemption, oh did I mention that was only after his student deferment ran out.......Y'all overplay the draft dodger bs.
“In a video clip tweeted out by the Harris campaign on Tuesday, Walz tells an audience that he carried guns "in war” while trying to make the case for restrictions on gun access. "We can research the impacts of gun violence. We can make sure those weapons of war, that I carried in war, are only carried in war,” Walz said. Walz would have carried a gun during his service when the U.S. was at war following the 9/11 terror attacks, including a deployment to Italy in 2003 in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.” What to know about Walz's military record and Vance's accusations of 'stolen valor'
No desperation but facts. Tim Walz has clearly been guilty of embellishing his military record over the years. In addition, he has also changed his story several times regarding his DUI years ago. Those are facts and we’ll have to wait and see how they affect the ticket going forward.
Walz is playing cute with his prepositions knowing the vast majority of his supporters will think he participated “in” combat situations. Just another example of his “pratness”.
Nah, desperation. Tons of it. The entire complaint is that he said "in" instead of "during" during a speech that wasn't even about military service years ago. Just sadly desperate. What to know about Walz's military record and Vance's accusations of 'stolen valor'.
According to records by the National Guard, the 1st Battalion of the 125th Field Artillery received an alert order on July 14, 2005, – two months after Walz retired. The mobilization order came in August and the unit mobilized in October. The first sentence is a complete fabrication. Tim Walz had already retired when his unit received orders to deploy to Iraq. He didn't retire to avoid deployment and had actually filed his retirement papers several months prior to the date that his retirement became effective.
