The bottom line doesn't matter if you're left or right. If you're in the military, that doesn't give you a right to embellish or fabricate Now they're saying it's okay to embellish and fabricate, and because you were in the military, nobody should say anything about it. You don't get a free pass on that one. Nobody does
I know I’ve changed alot since 2016 but I cannot believe how biased the news is. It really is entirely negative towards Trump/vance and excuses and deflecting towards Harris/walz. It’s astonishing. Has it always been this bad? Was I that brainwashed too?
Uh, excuse me, but Walz wasn't telling a phony story about bivouacking under fire in a helicopter landing as Hillary did., He wasn't telling a story about a combat mission he never went on. He was using "in war' to mean "for the purpose of war" which is an acceptable grammatical practice and shows no signs of deception or examples of 'stolen valor'. Those claims are ludicrous to anyone who has a reasonable grasp of the English language.
@@PrinceBlake saying "we can make sure that those weapons of war that I carried in war is the only place where those weapons are at" isn't deceptive? That is basically saying I went to war. I don't care how you sugarcoat it, it's a bullshit line he said to gain a political advantage. Here is a video of him saying that and it's less than two minutes. ruclips.net/video/ioKhfz6xUE4/видео.html&ab_channel=NewYorkPost
National Guard protects the U .S. at home. I respect Walz for his 24 year service. Vance isn't cool in my book for disrespecting Walz. Vance is clearly a bully and a dumbass at the same time 😂😂😂😂
@RG-vc9nn how is calling him out for lying disrespecting him? No one is bashing his service, anyone who served deserves respect. Were bashing the fact he lied about it for political gain. 2 completely different things
not only that but lied about his rank. He was demoted from command sergeant major to master sergeant because he did not do 2 years which was required if you wanted to keep it but still after that he had the audacity to use that rank that he lost in his challenge coin and many times claimed him self he was still CSM!
GOVERNOR WALTZ WILL WIN THIS DEBATE FROM THIS CREEP WHO WILL SAY AND DO WHATEVER HE CAN DO! AFTER 24 YEARS IN THE MILITARY WALTZ DESERVED TO RETIRE! VANCE IS A CREEP AND DOESN'T CARE ABOUT ANYONE BUT HIMSELF!
@@BornAtheist Wow, you are delusional. Don't think JD has a problem prosecuting a debate against Walz's with his JD from Yale. Quite simple "So, tell me what battle or war did you go ? And, so why since 2006 did you claim to retire at a MN National Guard rank which was not accurate ?" Even the elite Kamala, with her liberal Professor parents, would look child like compared to JD.
Actually Harris and Vance should except the Debate with Dishonest Fox under the Condition that Each Response gets Factchecked and the word 'True Or False ' appears on our TV Screens. They will DESTROY Trump and Vance!😮
Im a Veteran of the British Forces. I served in Cyprus during the 1st Gulf War. I have total respect for those who fought on the front line but aware that those who did know I would have done and our positions could easily have been reversed if the military had decided such. I will always be aware of those who have given the ultimate sacrifice and others who by chance were never under fire. All have served and there is no doubt that if chosen to go.. we go. I have total respect for Walz’s military record and anyone else who has served.
Now a US senator from Ohio, Vance, 40, deployed to Iraq in 2005, as a military journalist. Despite his title - combat correspondent - he did not experience combat
good to have someone who knows what it is to be part of such a situation. I think the title Marine is questionable. Real Marines are the elite force and would never ever fold on any other Marine, no matter what is in play. So Vance is the ultimate looser, the guy you could not stand but somehow dodged every challange. He never faced real war, just turned up for a free bottle of water and the allocated chocolate bar.
Oh, so you think it's OK that he applied for a rank for which HE WAS NOT ELIGIBLE when he "retired". He also wasted taxpayer dollars on training by signing a contract that GE NEVER FULFILLED. The most despicable thing is that he got busted down in rank to an E-8 because of his LIES. How can you support this man? Oh, I know. You're a foreigner who doesn't know JACK about the US military or HONORABLE service. Great job swallowing the FAKE News narrative!
They speak about that timeline like they understand the timeline, the timeline makes Walz case even work. The position he applied for, claims to have gotten, and did not earn. You have to choose, plus you have to go to school, he knew he wasn't gonna deploy, he knew he was signing up for Congress, but he still willingly PICKED his position in the military then abandoned it. That is stolen valor and him applying for Congress is irrelevant he knew what he was doing. He knew they were about to go to war so he bailed on the troops he promised to take into battle. What would he do for you if he did that to his brothers.
Walz served almost 5 years beyond the minimum retirement stipulation. No one has a right to question why he retired when he did. No one. That was a very silly and inappropriate question.
Vance agreed to go as part of his deal to become Command Sergeant Major. Because he violated that agreement to go with his unit to combat, he was stripped of his rank,and retired as Master Sergeant. He shouldn't have said he carried weapons in combat. Why didn't he walk that statement back the next day, instead of letting it stand? BTW, a number of his men were very disappointed that he didn't join them in-theater.
@@bullwinkle60 Well Bullwinkle, you just described Vance to a T. Great job! I'd comment on the remainder, but I'm too busy laughing. No one ever accused maga of being smart. Lmao!
@@whowahska he didn’t want to go to Iraq with his men…. Why doesn’t he just say it ….like he loves the smelll of burning tyres and looting in the morning
I think the key points here are; 1) Walz filed to run for congress in February...showing he was moving into retirement. 2) Military retirement needs to be started 1 year out from the retirement date..so he had to have started the process in May of the previous year., 3) He retired before the unit received orders to deploy.
Well that's where you're wrong. There were a number of guardsmen working at the factory where I was working when they got called up to go to Iraq. They weren't young men, one was a grandfather. One poor guy was just two weeks from finishing his enlistment, but he went anyway and did his duty. Walz should at least explain why he refused to do the same.
Now this is really becoming crazy the whole point of service in the military is the fact that you served Vance is running with a man who ducked the draft for Vietnam and yet he's trying to shame a man that actually served and also being a serviceman myself you don't know when you're going to be deployed especially within 2 months.
@@promeitheusactually his unit has already come out and said he abandoned them after his unit was ordered to go to Iraq. The man retired early to avoid going to combat. He claimed he was in combat. He lied about his service.
I usually don't comment on stuff like this but I served in the same time when walz served and I can't say he was lying about stolen valor, but then I can't say he was telling the truth. When we deployed to Iraq we had bombs and mortars dropping by us weekly and it was the scariest time of my life. I witnessed soldiers get their feet blown off in front of my face and i have nightmares about it regularly😢. Walz was not in our unit but he actually stayed back for administrative desk work from what I understand. But there was a time during basic training he was involved in sniper week and there was a competition shooting in M4A sniper rifle and he actually came in first place and was a true leader and everyone respected him after that, despite being an administrator. I never understood why he bailed from going to Iraq and claimed he had other things to do. But one thing I can attest to is my son was on his State championship football team and he was such an excellent coach and cared for everybody on the team, always called plays that involved everyone's involvement to win, and not a single individual type of play. The best part, is this entire comment was made up and total bullshit and I just wanted to waste everyone's time reading it.
Trump has no valor that can be stolen. Nobody has ever been able to and nobody will ever be able to steal Trump's valor. Nobody does valorless like Trump.....

Stolen Valor fact: Walz retired as a master sergeant, an E-8. He says he retired as a command sergeant major, an E-9. He lied about his retirement rank often including while in Congress in 2009.
No. He held a CSM billet as his final duty assignment. He was downgraded to MSG for retirement due to not having completed a SGM/CSM-required training course.
@@robertsmentkowski312 I really don’t give a fuck what he retired as! The important stuff is what he did when he was in the service and I’m thinking a combat reporter who has never seen combat should shut to fuck up about someone else’s valor!
@@bripeck you are incorrect. Walz lied repeatedly over many years, including while in Congress. Walz said he was in a combat zone. He never was while Vance was in a combat zone. Vance never lied.

@@bripeck I've been to multiple combat zones and Walz claims to have been to one, when he's actually only been deployed to Italy...There is no need to lie about ones service, that alone should be honorable, but we have a problem with some veterans who like to embellish their service and what they've actually done because they don't feel proud enough for what they did or to gain the system.
JD Vance was a military journalist. Not exactly the stuff of legends. The fact is that there are many non-combatant roles in a modern army and you go to where you are assigned. JD Vance has no class.
@@TheUMIA They get paid the same. The fact that you are even comparing sticks to how people serve is a disgrace. Regardless if your on active duty, reserves, or National Guard, you served your country just like anybody else. You can serve your country honorably without being deployed or seeing combat. There is no hierarchy of importance. Anyone in the military will tell you to shut up.
retirement has to be started one year out...source: I am retired US Army myself. Now: making light of anyones service is just out of line. I don't care if you were in a combat unit or not, the fact that you served is all I need to know. Shame on anyone who disparages anyone's service.
Vance served as a correspondent for 4 years and was deployed to Iraq for 6 months back in a safe place to comment on the war. Walz was in the National Guard for 24 years and worked his way up the ranks. He was sent to Italy in support of Afganistan but didn't see combat either. They both served and got out. I'm not here to attack either for their service. Don Old on the other hand dodged his service 5 times for "bone spurs". He attacks Veterans all the time as losers and suckers. We can't let ConOld back in the WhiteHouse ever again!

And also the clip of Tim Walz started before he said the sentence about weapons in war and stopped immediately afterwards. It is always suspicious if you have so tight video cutting! Show at least a minute of it, or you can assume it is completely out of context. (like the quote about the 25 feet ladder business if the wall is build 20 feet high.)
Air Force veteran here of 12 years. It's not mentioned enough that everyone in the military has combat roles. I was an aircraft mechanic. This doesn't mean your service has less impact or value. All jobs in the military work together for one purpose. Both candidates served , by all current accounts, honorably. Both can be thanked and honored for their service regardless of time or function in the military.
Agreed. But I was a 6yr contract corporal, that left due to health issues as a PFC. i was an air winger that was deployed to Gitmo to do classified radar/radio work. I wouldn’t come home and say I was black site veteran corporal, even though I was contracted to be. I was a PFC. nothing gives me the right to embellish that record. It’s like coming home from WWII and sitting next to a vet with shrapnel scars on his face and body and showing off a Purple Heart, you know because I cut off my finger on kitchen duty. Equally as important during war, but there is a time and a place and I’m sick of people who lie about and over embellish their military service. To be clear, a year later was desert storm and I was disappointed, I wouldn’t be there!
Our veterans deserve our respect. Armies are made up of hundreds of troops with various skill sets. Combined and trained, they become a cohesive force.
@@sirenknight8007?. He didn't embellish. People have to learn to listen and understand. He used 'weapons of war'. Not he used weapons in the war. Plain english. Talk about twisting words around.?
I went to Iraq for this deployment with the Minnesota 1st Brigade, 34th Division. I spent 15 months of my life away from my wife and family in Iraq having mortars and rockets dropped on our base daily. I drove down IED riddled roads regularly and had friends ripped apart, burned and shot at. When you are a leader you go to war with your unit when called. A commander or CSM/1SG does not retire when notified of a deployment and abandon his unit. This is shameful for Walz and veterans should understand this. 1. He abandoned his unit when notified of an impending deployment to a dangerous place. 2. He claims he retired as a Command Sargent Major (E-9). He did not. He quit CSM school and was reduced to Master Sargent (E-8)for retirement. 3. He claimed he carried "weapons of war" when talking about gun control. He was never in a combat zone. I applaud his 24 years of service, but you do not lie or embellish your record and you do not betray your soldiers. Also, don't say you retired to "serve" in congress. The men and women who went on this deployment served their country. Going to congress is mostly self serving.
1. He did not abandon his unit when notified of deployment. He put forth his retirement a year before deployment announcement, and retired 2 months before his unit received deployment announcement. 2. His rank was never reduced, even if he didn’t complete, it was never reduced. 3. He carried the weapons of war he is speaking about, the national guard protects our land. 4. He served on the veterans committee in Congress and accomplished much for them. 5. He pushed against the Iraq war in congress, one YOU never should’ve been deployed to, one that was created PURELY for the profit of the VP’s own construction firm.
@@sneakyskillz2482 he 100% abandoned his unit. He was not slated for retirment at the time, as SOON as he got the go ahead for deployment he retired.

The fact you defend him like a bot is deplorable.
@@Quasar-fv8to stolen valor twitter accounts have come out in swaths to say Walz does not have stolen valor. I trust veterans who do this for a living more than you.
I think the charge of stolen valor needs more than one instance of misspeaking. JD Vance truly is Trump's number 2. Seems like an accusation that just reminds everyone Trump didn't go to Vietnam.
There is more than one instance. To be charged with Stolen Valor, he must have profited from such. Which he did since he used it for political purposes. Any District should charge him. And its easy to convict.
@@lawrenceleverton7426 There is certainly more than one instance of Republicans lying to smear a veteran. Is that stolen valor? You seem to be such an expert.
Walz LIED 16 times on video about being a "retired Command Sergeant Major"...that's a big LIE. So's claiming to have carried a gun in a war. Oh, and ANYONE who served a 4 year enlistment in the active-duty Army (like JD and I have) served a LOT more active duty time than weekend Timmy did at 38 days a year.
Walz served while his country was at war, including Afghanistan and the Gulf War. He said he carried a weapon in war, not to the war, not to the battlefield. Serving by training is still serving. Unlike Trump and his alleged heel spurs, or Trump's grandfather who came to the US to avoid conscription. What weapon did Vance carry? A pen?
Samantics games will not change anything! But remember your inability to stand for what is right the next time you venture signal and thank a Veteran for their service. Keep your hollow gratitude. We do not want it.
Willie Brown was 60 and Kammie was 29, she called him Daddy but he preferred Master. Most of the time she couldn't say either, her mouth was full. That's how a young ding bat gets ahead, by giving head.
Despicable. This is so revealing about the character differences between Vance and Walz. Vance blatantly lies in order to attack a fellow vet, while Walz responded by thanking him for his service
Seriously! Why should a Marine like Vance,who actually was in Iraq with his unit, say ANYTHING about a guy who quit on his unit before they were deployed to Iraq but then tells people he fought in Iraq??
Let the trolling begin 😂 Vance forgot in his book he said he was lucky to escape any REAL fighting. He also forgot Walz retired in May and his unit deployed in July 😂
actually I believe the unit deployed after July....the orders were received in July, but there is a lot of prep that goes into a deployment of this type....I would guess + 6 months or so
People forget there’s a quote they follow which has been stated over and over for these school shootings which is probably what he was referring to since they had signs with it even that day for both the survivors and gun rights. People forget that he is pro gun rights & has trained thousands of people how to handle them. He was stationed in Italy, left his wife & family and served 24 years. The other guy follows Trump who lied saying he served then when fact checked he literally ran away like a lil bish 5 times. I would have never brought up this topic when the person you’re attacking is more advanced at combat than you and the person you are signed up under is an embarrassment to the military. “Life is like a war. There will always be people trying to shoot you down. But it's your choice whether you're going to surrender, fight back, or dodge the bullet”
@@hmminteresting22 Its true you muppet. He didn't complete the Sergeant Major Academy as he quit before the war and deployment to Iraq. So facts hurt your feelings and not true? hahahaha
He may have been a Temporary SM but his discharge papers say he was a MS. He also never signed his discharge papers. If he had a problem before he left, he should have gotten it corrected. Now lying about your actual rank is dubious at best. Most Veterans consider that Stolen Valor.
It’s pretty simple. It’s Stolen Valor. There have been too many instances where he said himself and let others embellish his actions. It’s people from his own unit that brought this up years ago not just Vance.

After 20 years or x points you can hand in your paperwork whenever you think you’re ready. Had Vance served instead of just serving himself he’d know that. There’s many reasons to leave. For instance, you’re simply ready to move on and enjoy retirement or there’s no advancement available, or to serve in office. There’s many reasons of which Shady will never know because he’s never served long enough to know somebody that actually retired. And fyi combat correspondents report combat. They don’t engage in combat. Often aren’t even armed for battle. That’s why he’s throwing SHADE.
There are many reasons to leave. Collecting pay for weekends in the National Guard was great. But the minute they asked him to serve in Iraq he quit. Pretty simple even for people like you. Want to talk about the lies Walz told about being in a combat zone or his official rank? Deflect all you want, this isnt about Vance, and Vance didnt lie about his service.

So how can you be a marine and carry yourself like Vance. I would of never thought Vance was in the marines. I know lots of marines and they wouldn’t be caught dead kissing another man’s behind!
Vance has a skewed understanding of the military and the military mindset. First, Vance achieved the rank of corporal (E4), while Walz achieved the rank of Command Sargent Major (acting)/Master Sargent (both E9), the highest enlisted ranking. Second, Vance served for 4 years, while Walz served for 24 years (6 times greater). Third, Vance has difficulty understanding it is not where you serve, but how you serve that’s important. You serve where needed and follow orders. In summary, until Vance learns about service to America at all levels he will continue to not be ready to serve America in any capacity, including his current position as Senator from Ohio.
@@steveallen3434 …Your question is valid and I do not have a reply, so I suggest contacting the relevant news sources in Ohio to determine how to provide you an answer.

At least Vance actually went to Iraq, instead of lying like Walz! Walz claims he carried weapons in war. He quit when he found out his unit was getting ready to go to Iraq!!!😮
So the truth about walz doesn’t matter? Is cnn going to be unbiased and dig a little into walz’s history. The answer is no. Cnn will lie and the viewers will become uninformed voters. This shouldn’t not be allowed since I’m sad to say cnn is an accredited news outlet.
Megyn Kelly's podcast or youtube video - take a look, she interviews 4 veterans who knew Walz and served with him who confirm that Walz claimed the title of Retired Master Command Sergeant or allowed himself to be introduced as such without correction even though he is not entitled to claim that rank and after being informed that he was not entitled to that rank. He also told at least one of these veterans who was also a sergeant that he would be shipping out with his unit to Iraq and then didn't. Walz is a liar and a political opportunist.
@regu6582 I have bone spurs in my feet. What's your point. They are excruciating and limit my ability to do things that you may take for granted. Walk a mile in my shoes.
If you listen to what Gov Watz said about his hearing, he was already identified by the Army as none deployable. That is the reason why the Army was putting him through the Medical Review Board. He also submitted his retirement, so there was no Stop Lost in place. The Army already considered him a loss. Gov Watz was in Combat Arms that means he was in the front line offense and defense. Gov Watz also served 24years. Vance on the other hand was Civil Affairs that means the situation was stabilizing and didn’t retire. Gov Watz passed bills helping veterans. What did Vance do for Veterans nothing.
You're right about that but you forgot his brain is chewing gum from helping with burn pits. Surely Vance found medical reasons to stay away from them, he's a liar and a cheat, just like his boss is.
First off he never carried no weapons of war in war second off weapons used in war are not on our streets maybe you should learn the difference between fully auto and semi auto
Vance likes to say he 'served in Iraq,' but let’s be honest-his toughest battle was figuring out how to work the coffee machine in the press tent. While real soldiers were dodging bullets, he was dodging deadlines
Walz abandoned his people of Minnesota too during the G Floyd riots. He let the city burn to the ground and black owned business's were destroyed. He allowed police precincts to be over run with thugs. This country will be like Fort Apache!!
As a Vietnam vet, who served 69-70, Walz was in the National Guard honorably for 24 years, it does not matter if he did was or combat or not, many do not, he gave service to this Country, as all of us have

I agree 100%. I would also add a weekend warriors 24 year service is not the same as active duty. Active duty is 24/7 service for term of contract. Active duty is first to be called and the most notice you might get for deployment may only be 24 hrs.
@jack8230 Correct, I was NG for my first 2 years but switched to the Reserves so I could deploy more. I did 4 deployments and loved every minute of it, but for anyone to cheapen anyone that deployed or say they did when they didn't, yea, you have another thing coming. All these people saying Vance was a paper boy....yea a paper boy in Iraq you fkn psychos. Same as the mail clerk, same as the accountant that handed me money from my Eagle cash card....they were in combat none the less. Did I look down on people that didn't go outside the wire, hell yes, but I also will fight anyone that never did deploy talk down to them as well. They're still equals.

Re: "stolen valor" slander. Facts: Walz retired in May, 2005. Orders to deploy to Iraq were received by his unit in July, 2005. Stateside, Walz was on a waiver due to his extreme hearing loss.

Paperwork also shows he filed to run for Congress around the same time, but he couldn't have been deployed to Iraq with his men in any case.

And, it would not--could not--occur to me to bash my fellow veterans in any way shape or form. These men and women are my brothers and sisters. Shame on JDVance for bashing a fellow veteran, when his master DJT NEVER served honorably anywhere but in the rich man's world. Serving himself.
And I guess you guys didn't claim to be ranked higher than your retired rank right? Or wear a special force unit cap even though you are not? Then you guys didn't commit stolen valor crime but tim did.
Walz committed to the National Guard years of service to enter the Command Sergeant Major course. He retired before finishing the course, but still said he was a Command Sergeant Major. He wasn't. He retired as a Master Sergeant. He served during a war, yes, but did he earn a Combat Infantry Badge, NO. If you don't deploy to a combat zone, you don't get one. Carrying a rifle in the US on a national guard base, is not the same as carrying one in Iraq.
@@lawrenceleverton7426which is disgusting, considering Vance will turn his back on them day 1, and pull back countless Biden initiatives that help veterans… and Walz was on the veterans affairs committee…. He would instantly help them more if he was in office. Funny how the republicans can screw the people they claim to care about the most.
@rogersmith7808 In today's U.S. military, a 6-month deployment or more allows a servicemen the label of "veteran". So, he is correct, Vance is a veteran. He never said he was a combat vet - that's different. But, objectively speaking, he's definitely a Marine Veteran.
Tim Walz said he was an E-9 when the highest Army rank he attained was E-8. He aslo chose to retire rather than extend and go to Iraq with his Army Guard Unit. President George W. Bush faced similar criticisms about his Air National Guard service.
@@Alltypzthat didn’t work in 2020, it didn’t work in 2022, why do you think it’s going to work in 2024? Go look up that famous Einstein quote about repeating the same thing and expecting different results.
Actually he held a CSM Billet in his reserve unit as its Command Sergeant Major. However, by the time he had dropped his retirement packet he had not required the requisite training course for his rank and was downgraded to MSG as his promotion rank in accordance with Army regulations.
In everyday terms, he had probationary employment. He had to graduate from a two year school, the Sergeant Major Academy. After graduating, he had to serve an additional two years. Once those two years were done, he could have retired as a CSM. He failed to graduate and terminated his contract prior to serving his mandatory two years as stated in his contract. Think of it as a guy in med school who didn't finish his last year or do his residency. Then goes around calling himself a doctor.
@@lanefunai4714awful take, more like someone who has been a doctor for 20 years claiming they’ve been a doctor for 22. Forgetting they took a gap year or something of the sorts. What I’m saying is you republicans love to exaggerate when the general American thabks him for his service and doesn’t care about his rank you claim is fake, just like someone wouldn’t care if a doctor says they’ve been one for 22 vs 20 years. Snowflakes. It’s what you guys have become.

I know I’ve changed alot since 2016 but I cannot believe how biased the news is. It really is entirely negative towards Trump/vance and excuses and deflecting towards Harris/walz. It’s astonishing. Has it always been this bad? Was I that brainwashed too?
Uh, excuse me, but Walz wasn't telling a phony story about bivouacking under fire in a helicopter landing as Hillary did., He wasn't telling a story about a combat mission he never went on. He was using "in war' to mean "for the purpose of war" which is an acceptable grammatical practice and shows no signs of deception or examples of 'stolen valor'. Those claims are ludicrous to anyone who has a reasonable grasp of the English language.
@@PrinceBlake saying "we can make sure that those weapons of war that I carried in war is the only place where those weapons are at" isn't deceptive? That is basically saying I went to war.

good thing than, Walz did not do that.
not only that but lied about his rank. He was demoted from command sergeant major to master sergeant because he did not do 2 years which was required if you wanted to keep it but still after that he had the audacity to use that rank that he lost in his challenge coin and many times claimed him self he was still CSM!

good to have someone who knows what it is to be part of such a situation. I think the title Marine is questionable. Real Marines are the elite force and would never ever fold on any other Marine, no matter what is in play. So Vance is the ultimate looser, the guy you could not stand but somehow dodged every challange. He never faced real war, just turned up for a free bottle of water and the allocated chocolate bar.
Well said. My sentiments exactly.
The Military has an Esprit de corps.. It’s so weird to hear someone from the military slagging off someone else from the military. Weird.
Oh, so you think it's OK that he applied for a rank for which HE WAS NOT ELIGIBLE when he "retired". He also wasted taxpayer dollars on training by signing a contract that GE NEVER FULFILLED.

They speak about that timeline like they understand the timeline, the timeline makes Walz case even work. The position he applied for, claims to have gotten, and did not earn. You have to choose, plus you have to go to school, he knew he wasn't gonna deploy, he knew he was signing up for Congress, but he still willingly PICKED his position in the military then abandoned it.
That is stolen valor and him applying for Congress is irrelevant he knew what he was doing. He knew they were about to go to war so he bailed on the troops he promised to take into battle.
What would he do for you if he did that to his brothers.
Walz served almost 5 years beyond the minimum retirement stipulation. No one has a right to question why he retired when he did. No one. That was a very silly and inappropriate question.
ruclips.net/video/ioKhfz6xUE4/видео.html
Vance agreed to go as part of his deal to become Command Sergeant Major. Because he violated that agreement to go with his unit to combat, he was stripped of his rank,and retired as Master Sergeant.

@@whowahska he didn’t want to go to Iraq with his men…. Why doesn’t he just say it ….like he loves the smelll of burning tyres and looting in the morning
After 24 years in uniform, Walz must have been around 42 years old when he retired. No Army wants to send 42 year old soldiers into combat.
I think the key points here are; 1) Walz filed to run for congress in February...showing he was moving into retirement. 2) Military retirement needs to be started 1 year out from the retirement date..so he had to have started the process in May of the previous year., 3) He retired before the unit received orders to deploy.
@@LocoCoyote Do words 'honorable discharge' mean anything to you? Anything? Is that same as a regular retirement you are talking about?

Well that's where you're wrong. There were a number of guardsmen working at the factory where I was working when they got called up to go to Iraq. They weren't young men, one was a grandfather. One poor guy was just two weeks from finishing his enlistment, but he went anyway and did his duty. Walz should at least explain why he refused to do the same.
Now this is really becoming crazy the whole point of service in the military is the fact that you served Vance is running with a man who ducked the draft for Vietnam and yet he's trying to shame a man that actually served and also being a serviceman myself you don't know when you're going to be deployed especially within 2 months.

I usually don't comment on stuff like this but I served in the same time when walz served and I can't say he was lying about stolen valor, but then I can't say he was telling the truth. When we deployed to Iraq we had bombs and mortars dropping by us weekly and it was the scariest time of my life. I witnessed soldiers get their feet blown off in front of my face and i have nightmares about it regularly😢. Walz was not in our unit but he actually stayed back for administrative desk work from what I understand. But there was a time during basic training he was involved in sniper week and there was a competition shooting in M4A sniper rifle and he actually came in first place and was a true leader and everyone respected him after that, despite being an administrator. I never understood why he bailed from going to Iraq and claimed he had other things to do. But one thing I can attest to is my son was on his State championship football team and he was such an excellent coach and cared for everybody on the team, always called plays that involved everyone's involvement to win, and not a single individual type of play. The best part, is this entire comment was made up and total bullshit and I just wanted to waste everyone's time reading it.
Good men can be cowards.
Vance accuses Walz of stolen Valor.....while Vance's boss dodged the draft 5 times.
Trump has no valor that can be stolen. Nobody has ever been able to and nobody will ever be able to steal Trump's valor. Nobody does valorless like Trump.....

actually I believe the unit deployed after July....the orders were received in July, but there is a lot of prep that goes into a deployment of this type....I would guess + 6 months or so
nice fake tan, babe.
Interesting now did Vance talk about carrying a weapon of war in a war zone? Vance never lied waltz did false Valor duh
People forget there’s a quote they follow which has been stated over and over for these school shootings which is probably what he was referring to since they had signs with it even that day for both the survivors and gun rights. People forget that he is pro gun rights & has trained thousands of people how to handle them. He was stationed in Italy, left his wife & family and served 24 years. The other guy follows Trump who lied saying he served then when fact checked he literally ran away like a lil bish 5 times. I would have never brought up this topic when the person you’re attacking is more advanced at combat than you and the person you are signed up under is an embarrassment to the military.

He may have been a Temporary SM but his discharge papers say he was a MS. He also never signed his discharge papers. If he had a problem before he left, he should have gotten it corrected. Now lying about your actual rank is dubious at best. Most Veterans consider that Stolen Valor.
It’s pretty simple. It’s Stolen Valor. There have been too many instances where he said himself and let others embellish his actions. It’s people from his own unit that brought this up years ago not just Vance.

The 24 years of service to your country is very much appreciated regardless of your rank and deployment.

After 20 years or x points you can hand in your paperwork whenever you think you’re ready. Had Vance served instead of just serving himself he’d know that. There’s many reasons to leave. For instance, you’re simply ready to move on and enjoy retirement or there’s no advancement available, or to serve in office. There’s many reasons of which Shady will never know because he’s never served long enough to know somebody that actually retired. And fyi combat correspondents report combat. They don’t engage in combat. Often aren’t even armed for battle. That’s why he’s throwing SHADE.
There are many reasons to leave. Collecting pay for weekends in the National Guard was great. But the minute they asked him to serve in Iraq he quit. Pretty simple even for people like you. Want to talk about the lies Walz told about being in a combat zone or his official rank? Deflect all you want, this isnt about Vance, and Vance didnt lie about his service.

Stop watching FAKE FOXS LIES .WALZ SAID AND I QUOTE HE WAS 17 yrs old when he join the Military
That's what I was thinking, the guy was in his 40s and expecting another child on the way. He was a grown man with a family that served 24 years, he had every right to quit and do something else with his life. Vance was a 19 or 20 year old, completely different situations.
So how can you be a marine and carry yourself like Vance. I would of never thought Vance was in the marines. I know lots of marines and they wouldn’t be caught dead kissing another man’s behind!
Vance has a skewed understanding of the military and the military mindset. First, Vance achieved the rank of corporal (E4), while Walz achieved the rank of Command Sargent Major (acting)/Master Sargent (both E9), the highest enlisted ranking. Second, Vance served for 4 years, while Walz served for 24 years (6 times greater). Third, Vance has difficulty understanding it is not where you serve, but how you serve that’s important. You serve where needed and follow orders. In summary, until Vance learns about service to America at all levels he will continue to not be ready to serve America in any capacity, including his current position as Senator from Ohio.

Walz ran for the hills at the first sign of war. It was a cowardly act. There's no sugar coating this.
If you listen to what Gov Watz said about his hearing, he was already identified by the Army as none deployable. That is the reason why the Army was putting him through the Medical Review Board. He also submitted his retirement, so there was no Stop Lost in place. The Army already considered him a loss. Gov Watz was in Combat Arms that means he was in the front line offense and defense. Gov Watz also served 24years. Vance on the other hand was Civil Affairs that means the situation was stabilizing and didn’t retire.
Gov Watz passed bills helping veterans. What did Vance do for Veterans nothing.

I agree 100%. I would also add a weekend warriors 24 year service is not the same as active duty. Active duty is 24/7 service for term of contract. Active duty is first to be called and the most notice you might get for deployment may only be 24 hrs.
@jack8230 Correct, I was NG for my first 2 years but switched to the Reserves so I could deploy more.

Re: "stolen valor" slander. Facts:
Walz retired in May, 2005. Orders to deploy to Iraq were received by his unit in July, 2005. Stateside, Walz was on a waiver due to his extreme hearing loss. He knew he was ineligible to be deployed to a war zone because he couldn't pass the physical. Paperwork also shows he filed to run for Congress around the same time, but he couldn't have been deployed to Iraq with his men in any case.
Why did Walz vote against Trumps bill for veterans??? Because it was Trumps bill!!!!
Ask Minnesota State about taxes in that state and why people are leaving that state.

Actually he held a CSM Billet in his reserve unit as its Command Sergeant Major. However, by the time he had dropped his retirement packet he had not required the requisite training course for his rank and was downgraded to MSG as his promotion rank in accordance with Army regulations.
So did Walz retire as a Master Sargeant or a Command Sargeant Major like it says on his official bios?
He had to drop a rank upon retirement for not having held it for at least three years. Adam Kinzinger explained this.
In everyday terms, he had probationary employment. He had to graduate from a two year school, the Sergeant Major Academy. After graduating, he had to serve an additional two years. Once those two years were done, he could have retired as a CSM. He failed to graduate and terminated his contract prior to serving his mandatory two years as stated in his contract.
