Info on Swiftboating Walz

[Oerets]

Having never served don't quite understand the nuances of his service and retirement. I was very lucky in once having a extremely low lottery number (3) to never get the report date. It was the timing as the war was winding down and they were unsure and was in limbo for a while.

Only know of my Father's decision to retirement at 21 years service after planning on doing 30 years. This was after one deployment to Vietnam 1965/1966.

From what I have read it seems he Walz's did nothing wrong.

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.

''"On May 15, 2005, Walz retired from the Guard. His separation record says he did so honorably.

""Bonnifield said Walz focused on veterans in Congress. Of the 85 bills Walz sponsored over his six terms, nearly half had to do with veterans’ issues.""

“"He worked on making it easier for Guard members struggling to get help and contact the right people for post traumatic stress help, for the suicidal thoughts, for just making things quicker and making it so people realized it is an actual problem, it’s not something that will just go away,” Bonnifield said.""

To those of us who have served, he's done great, having stayed for 24 years! That's a long time for any service. And, unlike Whell's disgusting Dear Leader, he didn't have fake "bone spurs" to avoid serving his country.

I have something to spin up the red hat brigade at work now.

But since everyone is retired military this is something they probably won't fall for. They will defend Vance though.

From what I have been able to find. There was a gap of months between him requesting retirement, retirement and the deployment.
He could of gone with a disability at twenty due to hearing got an operation and reenlisted.

Normal. I put my papers in 24 months out and it took 3 months to get the approval back.

The time line I saw had him retired 3 months before the deployment order. Even if he was still "active" commands typically leave anyone transitioning soon behind.

I am beyond disgusted with a vet throwing an easily debunked "stolen valor" claim at another vet. It says everything Vances flip-flop on Maga Lardo Mussolini leaves out about his character.

Insult a vet, yet kiss a felon's butt for power and glory.
Trump insulted Gold Start families too, so to be expected. To me JayDee is the real life Apprentice to Trump and he is a WYSIG.

I disagree with Finn, Weirdo Vance is several notches below Canadian Ted Cruz.
