I don’t like him and not voting for him but this guy was in the national guard for 20 years. He did his time and for much of that could have been ordered overseas. At the tail end of it when he had kids and was able to retire Bush decided to launch a stupid war against 15 year old goat herders and he tapped out.

The VAST majority of ppl in the armed forces don’t fight in combat. Vance didn’t, Buttigieg didn’t. Biden Trump Obama Clinton didn’t join. The last actual brave fighting president was HW.

This just seems stupid to attack Walz over.

"Waltz stood on his toes talking about his military career and is getting rightly blasted for it."

Nobody is saying that he didn't serve, he was in the Guard. That's great.

Waltz made comments that he was out fighting wars, which he did not do. That's not great.

EDIT: I don't care that he retired when he did, plenty of people do that. Plenty of people don't talk about "fighting in a war" when they never did, or talk about deploying to a war zone when they never did.

Guys in my high school used to enlist in the reserves or NG for some free cash for college all the time. Around the Gulf War some of htem started getting pwn3d for it. Now NG and reserves can't recruit people because these weekend warrior types don't want to risk it.

but the main points are 1) he made it a big part of his shtick and 2) he lied and embellished repeatedly

It's not stupid at all, this is basically the only GOP attack that has gotten any media attention whatsoever since Harris took over.

I don't fault Walz for retiring after 24 years but the men he served with seem to care a lot.

The bigger issue is he has spent the last two decades creating the impression that he served in Iraq when he didn't. And at least once he said something outright false, when he said he carried assault rifles in war.

The GOP needs to maintain this attack while they continue to dig up every old video and written statement and hope they strike gold. A Blumenthal-level lie could be devastating.

"The men he served with" are roughly analogous to the thirty women who suddenly remembered that Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted or harassed them. It's depressing, but it turns out you can always find a couple people willing to convince themselves of something in exchange for a few minutes of semi-fame.

i think fair enough to retire rather than go to iraq if you can, but walz has clearly been misleading people into thinking his military career was more than it actually was to benefit his political career. he knew that going on about being a "enduring freedom veteran" signaled that he was on the ground in afghanistan, which does come across as slimy to me.

he made an ambiguous statement. he did not say "I fought in a combat zone" or anything close to that. agree with OP this is a retarded hill to die on. no votes are gonna move from word-lawyering his statement (and if we're gonna start doing ultra close reads of people's statements, seems like there are a few things Trump has said that could be problematic??? like being dictator for a "day" etc?? lol)

Politicians are expected to lie but misrepresenting your military service is still a big no-no. You can't say you carried weapons in war when you were never deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan.

i don't think the statement was optimal but like, idk, if you carried weapons while doing training or support operations for military stuff going down somewhere else, did you carry them "in a war"? i honestly don't think it's as crystal clear as shitcons are saying. if he'd said "i carried these weapons in combat" that'd be a clear error but he didn't so..

no i dont think so. it's off-putting to play semantic games to imply your service put you in danger when in reality you were sitting in complete safety in a different country far removed from the combat zone. parsing the words is missing the point. he knew what he was doing when he was making the statement, which was to mislead people into thinking he was actually in combat.

Even the Kamala campaign is conceding he misspoke. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/10/us/politics/walz-guns-war-military.html

Lauren Hitt, a spokeswoman for the Harris-Walz campaign, said in a statement on Saturday that Mr. Walz’s remarks had been a misstatement and that he had not tried to mislead anyone about his military service.

“In making the case for why weapons of war should never be on our streets or in our classrooms, the governor misspoke,” Ms. Hitt said.

To be fair,

"Ackkkkshually, the statement was ambiguous, so technically speaking, Walz didn't necessarily 'lie,' per se."

Wow great defense, you're right, this is the winner right here that will definitely slay this nothingburger story. Why didn't libs just stress that these statements were 'ambiguous' and 'technically speaking, not necessarily lies' right off the bat?! Normal people love defenses like this, IIRC. They find them very compelling and it really endears them to the people raising these kinds of highly loveable defenses.

Dumb op. There are three big issues with this IMO:

1. He collected paychecks for 20 years to be on call to serve his country, he was trained to lead his troop into battle, he told his commander he was going to lead them into battle, and then the 1 time they were actually called to go to battle, he went around his commander to retire. Does it mean he's a bad person? No. But it's like Kamala failing the bar exam. They both making being a lawyer/soldier their story - well, why don't we get a lawyer/soldier who didn't fail the bar or who didn't quit right before they were actually sent to a war zone?

2. He's been caught several times implying he served in war when it would benefit him politically - in a couple of statements crossing the line to outright lies. The one that really grossed me out was when he told an interviewer "I was in charge of a group of soldiers that went on to fight in Iraq." It's gross.

3. The rank thing seems the dumbest to me, but on the other side, why is he using that rank he knows he was demoted from in his official Twitter bio? If you care enough that you put it in your 10 word Twitter bio then those 10 words should be accuarate?

2 and 3 are the biggest ones to me. despite 1 being a bit slimey, i don't really fault anyone for dodging serving in the middle east, and i don't think that eviscerates the prior 24 years he did spend serving. which i won't even put in quotes since he never implied he was anything more than a weekend warrior at the national guard.

but 2 and 3 are intentional deceptions calculated to imply something he wasn't and didn't do. and they were happening in 2024. even if i thought he was a piece of shit for dodging the middle east i'd overlook it if it was 20+ years ago.

#1 does not make any sense. That's not what his job was nor is that how the military works.

Please revise or delete.

I literally lol'd when I found out his deployment "abroad" that he talked about was actually to Italy
