Walz — Comer Opens Congressional Investigation of Walz trips to China

While even a Lieutenant technically outranks a CSM, if a Lieutenant and a CSM disagree the commander will side with the CSM every day of the week and twice on Sundays. The CSM is essentially the commander’s right hand and his/her eyes and ears within the unit.

Change this to either Captain or Major, and the point pretty much stands as well. You better be damn sure of yourself before you take a view that does not align with the CSM and their (typically) 25+ years of experience.

Yep. It was Air Force, but saw a CMSgt (our CSM equivalent) put a Major in his place once, and it wasn’t pretty.

JD Vance was a freaking combat correspondent. He was Joker in Full Metal Jacket, and now he's accusing Walz of stolen valor? Once again, all the GOP has are lies. Lies. Lies.

If you're trying to say that being a combat correspondent kept him out of harms way, that may or may not be true. But, comparison to Private Joker does not support your point. I mean, Joker seen some things and did some things.
 
Much to my surprise, I've really enjoyed Cuban's perspective over the past several months on the Presidential race and politics in general.
 
The GOP is really grasping at straws when they attack the military service of a 20 year veteran who rose to the top enlisted rank. He clearly retired before his unit was called up by they accuse him of 'abandoning his troops' and he had a single misspeak about war when he clearly used those weapons for 20+ years.
 
Watched a little bit of his speech in Wisconsin today. In the middle of it, he stopped speaking, looked down and realized that someone in the crowd went down with heat exhaustion. He immediately got the medical people to help the guy out and had people pass down some water to him. He then started pointing out other people in the crowd that looked tired, and he had water bottles sent over to them too. At that point, he continued his speech and segued into his bit about "helping each other" and "being kind to each other."

This guy was built in a lab full of all the best parts of humanity. He is a fucking gift.
 
Beto O'Rourke was talking today about how Walz always sat right next to him on the House Veteran's Affairs Committee, and how he was always the first person to arrive at committee meetings, and always the last person to leave. Whereas most committee members would show up just to give a short, grandstanding speech, Walz would use every bit of his time there to make sure veterans were getting their needs addressed. Beto said Walz was responsible for expanding the availability of mental health resources - even for veterans with less than an honorable discharge. Truly impressive stuff.
