  1. Walz was demoted and did not retire as "Command" Sargent. Why don't you know that? Vance received the Iraq Campaign Medal while serving in a war zone where Marines were being killed. Why don't you know that? December 1 2005 Ten US marines die as insurgents detonate an improvised bomb made from artillery shells outside Fallujah, the deadliest single attack on US forces in months.

  2. Then why was he demoted on retirement?

  3. Are you saying he didn't know they were deploying, or that he got out before his time was up? Then was he demoted on retirement?

  4.  @dday9433  Vance did not open the subject, but MN National Guardsmen did, and there's been conflict with the MN Guard since Walz said they were "untrained 19-year-old cooks". I've read the MN Guard comments about that written in 2020. So not new.

  5. Like Bill Clinton?

  6.  @FlyingDragonGarden  LOL, I've seen Walz's mugshot. Trump's better.

  7. Trump likes to counter-punch, he was responding to a slur, he does that a lot, because he gets slurred a lot. Yeah, and MacArthur was also a narcissist who had to "Return" when the Navy wanted to bypass the Philippines and just cut off Japan, would have saved many, many lives.

  8.  @soonermodels1173  Trump served as Commander and Chief for 4 years, donated his salary.

  9. No, Walz called the MN National Guard a "bunch of untrained 19-year-old cooks". Read about what his own MN Guard say about him. You have it backwards.

  10. Walz demoted for not deploying to Iraq, will be "Swiftboated". Vance received Iraq Campaign Medal, Walz did not.

  11.  @BobSarnoff  Vance was not an "Officer" he was in a War zone during a "campaign". December 1 2005 Ten US marines die as insurgents detonate an improvised bomb made from artillery shells outside Fallujah, the deadliest single attack on US forces in months.

  12. No, you recall incorrectly. I lived it and had to recheck. Kerry's commanding officer flip flopped on the 2nd Silver Star, ultimately agreeing he did not see it with his own eyes and accepts the account of those who did. He regretted giving Kerry the 2nd Silver Star

  13.  @pdoylemi  What? His commanding officer eventually said the 2nd Silver Star was not deserved, and he believed the eyewitnesses. I checked. Kerry was in combat, but the 2nd Silver Star was for shooting the enemy has they fled, he shot them in the back.

  14.  @pdoylemi  Kerry was the real deal in Vietnam, never said otherwise. I took a quick look to see and his commanding officer, after flip flopping for years, said based on eyewitnesses, would not have recommended Kerry for the 2nd Silver Star. And I agree, "so what", and did at the time. Walz is different.

  15.  @pdoylemi  24 years active service is different than 24 years in NG. He is on video saying he carried a rifle in combat. that's different.

  16.  @pdoylemi  I agree, it was not a big deal, but I'm learning other things that are BIG deals, his Master's Thesis to be a teacher is close to Holocaust denial. WOW.

  17. Vance is a war zone, same classification as Al Gore in Vietnam. Why the double standard. Marines died while he was there, he earned the Iraq Campaign Medal, Walz did not December 1 2005 Ten US marines die as insurgents detonate an improvised bomb made from artillery shells outside Fallujah, the deadliest single attack on US forces in months.
