Stolen Valor
While Ferno like to accuse me of stolen valor, somehow he ignores it when VP candidate Walsh actually does it.

I bet you only read the blur high lite, from your link: "Walz’s battalion was not officially ordered to go to Iraq until July 2005, two months after Walz retired."Tunnelcat wrote: ↑Sun Aug 11, 2024 11:54 am Again, bull★■◆●.

However: "Former commander retired Army Command Sergeant Major Doug Julin confirmed Friday that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, now the Democrat vice presidential candidate, knew months in advance he would deploy to Iraq — well before choosing to retire and miss the deployment. In addition, Julin said that Walz assured him that, as a then-command sergeant major of his battalion, he would lead his battalion into Iraq. However, later on, Julin said he found out that Walz went around him — to two levels above him — to get his retirement approved before he could actually deploy."
In an interview with CNN, Julin said he and other senior leaders were told in fall of 2004 about an upcoming deployment to Iraq
So TC, who is getting bullshitted...you or me.

Re: Stolen Valor
It's spelled 'Walz', you vomit bucket.
The more you talk about the military, the more you show ut doesn't work and that you never served. You're not even woth the paddle to scrape off my boot.
Shut it down, TC. This piece of wormshit isn't worth our time.

So once again you post stupid cartoons to prove your point and not read those whose , unlike you, comments were from fellow soldiers.

Re: Stolen Valor
What valor has Walz stolen? The guy served for 20+ years and retired. Stop acting like a douche bag just because you don't like the guy's politics.

Re: Stolen Valor
I guess we have a "He said, he said" don't we? The fact is, the actual "Notice to deploy" wasn't until July. Walz decided to retire in May. Maybe he heard the rumors, but so what? He had every right to retire after serving for nearly 25 years. He gave a pretty good chunk of his life to the National Guard and I'd say that was a big sacrifice for his country in itself.woodchip wrote: ↑Sun Aug 11, 2024 12:25 pmI bet you only read the blur high lite, from your link: "Walz’s battalion was not officially ordered to go to Iraq until July 2005, two months after Walz retired."Tunnelcat wrote: ↑Sun Aug 11, 2024 11:54 am Again, bull★■◆●.

As for chickenshit Vance, he served as a "Military Correspondent". Do you know what that is hmmmm? A public affairs specialist, not a combat serviceman. He saw no combat whatsoever, nor did he risk his life in the service of his country, so go to hell woody. Vance has no right to criticize since he never fired a weapon at an enemy during hostilities either.Others have defended Walz. National Guard veteran Sergeant Major Joseph Eustice, who served under Walz, told NewsNation that Walz had "fulfilled his duty," had "every right to leave," and that the Minnesota governor was not aware of a deployment order as he planned for retirement.
"As far as I know, he did not know," Eustice said.
"At that time, there were all kinds of rumors about us deploying. In May, when he decided to retire...we had no 'Notice of Deployment,'" he said.
"That didn't come until July."
Eustice, who described himself to the Star Tribune in 2002 as nonpartisan and that he didn't "care much" for Walz as a politician, added that Walz had been speaking for months about becoming a congressman.

Re: Stolen Valor
J.D. Vance's military career, only he didn't end up in combat and turn into a man. And through all this back and forth woody, you seem to ignore Bone Spur Trump's chicken out reason for his dodge of military service back in the day.

Re: Stolen Valor
"Pass it on"?
I think I've watched 3 different people lay out what Walz did with his retirement. He stayed in 4 years passed the 20 year mark and 2 years after full scale combat began. There is one clip where he says he carried a weapon in war which is why this has any legs - no one is sure wether that was a flub or to mislead a room full of people.
24 years is a 1/3 of a male Americans lifespan. What a bunch of dicks turning the screws on this. Politics are disgusting.

Re: Stolen Valor
No one in the national press is pointing any of that out, or what exactly Vance did during his setvice, which did not include firing a weapon at the enemy in defense of his unit or the country. The pantywaist little pussy is a writer/journalist of all things, not a warrior with valor.

So, all of the little pussies reading this that haven't turned into a man...raise your hands.

Re: Stolen Valor
Insult me if you want, but I have a problem with people who conflate their own record for political gain and buff their image. If someone is going to brag that they have valor while claiming the other guy chickened out and stole it, they'd better have the record to prove THEIR valor. Vance has none of that other than hitting a keyboard, so he needs to STFU. So does Trump, who definitely chickened out and took the usual rich man's deferment back in the day (5 times, college, bone spurs) that most Amercan young, economically poor, male, Vietnam cannon fodder didn't have.

Re: Stolen Valor
I wasn't trying to insult you...you are the one that insulted everyone that served but didn't see combat.
Re: Stolen Valor
I don't have an issue with what Vance did in the military. There's a whole lotta non-combat jobs that still need to be done and he did one. Great.
But he's an absolute douche bag for promoting the stolen valor BS, and I'd say it's far more illustrative of his "honor" than his service.

Re: Stolen Valor
No, I'm not insulting his service. But he does a disservice to everyone who's serving or has served in the military with his constant and disingenuous attacks on a man who served a large part of his life in the service of his country, far longer than Vance did. The fact Vance went to Iraq and Walz didn't means nothing. Neither men saw combat so neither man has stolen valor and Vance is an asswipe for claiming otherwise just to further his political career.

Re: Stolen Valor
You seem to believe that I'm a hypocrite for failing to defend you from Ferno's allegations in a thread you started to make similar allegations against Walz. I actually spent some time reading about Walz's service history. I've spent zero time even considering whether you've lied about your service, I simply take you at your word.
Are you going to defend the allegation of Walz's supposed "stolen valor?" I'm certainly not defending Ferno's.

Re: Stolen Valor
Woody, I gather you like your disability checks and health care as do most vets? And yes, I think vets deserve that compensation for serving long after they've left the service. Maybe not so much with Trump and the Heritage Foundation though.

Re: Stolen Valor
This is the one statement that Vance claims is "stolen valor". Technically, the U.S. was at war after 911 and he carried a gun during his service. He just wasn't in Iraq. Why is that stolen valor? Neither man pointed or fired their weapons at an enemy in combat, so Vance is full of it.
Walz wrote:"We can make sure that those weapons of war, that I carried in war, are the only place where those weapons are at."
