Walz — Comer Opens Congressional Investigation of Walz trips to China

Nothing Walz said was wrong. People are acting as if the phrase "in war" means "in combat" or "under fire." It does not. My grandfather spent years in the Navy during WWII. He was deployed in the Pacific. He was a cook. To my knowledge, his ship was never fired on. It was part of the rear guard. My grandfather served in war. Period. He did not see combat.

The questions to ask when assessing Walz's claim of carrying a weapon in war:

1. Was he deployed overseas during a war, in support of the war mission? Yes.
2. Did his job require him to carry a weapon? Yes.

He carried a weapon in war. End of story.
 
Don't know if anyone else has heard this, but I just got a fund-raising text announcing that VP Harris had selected Tim Walz, Governor of Minnesota as her running mate! WOW! Really good choice.

Based on the story, I can excuse that one as not being "stolen valor." He was simply trying to highlight that the weapons used in school shootings are the types of guns routinely handled by military members of which he was one.

But superrific ensured us that using the term “in war” was accurate!

Glad to see Harris/Walz walk this back and I will assume it was an honest mistake off the cuff instead of an intentional misrepresentation.

And he was right, it was “in war,” GWOT. It wasn’t in combat which is colloquially equated with in war but is in fact distinct.
 
I really hope they continue on this “stolen valor” narrative. The man was part of that war. Sure, he never saw combat but that’s not the point. Do we accuse military intelligence that sit at a desk in the Pentagon of stolen valor? Hell, even the media says “we are at war!” So does that mean all of us or just those shooting weapons?

He didn’t misspeak. He didn’t steal valor. He did his job and was part of that “war”.

They are really grasping at straws to find something bad on this guy and they’re failing. The Democrats knocked this pick out of the park.
 
I mean they really need to quit with the swiftboating and “stolen valor” BS. It ain’t gonna stick and will only backfire on them. There was never anyone named JD Vance serving in any military, armed forces unit - at least not the so called JD Vance trying to run for vice prez… That was the guy who was a corporal running around with the steno pad scribbling. Radar O”Reilly he ain’t…

And let’s not talk about Mr. bonespurs or whatever… prolly just a hangnail or flat feet or some such. Draft dodging putz.

They really need to table that one… Coach is going to steal Vance’s lunch money in their debate. Mark it.
 
I wouldn't have wanted to go to that stupid fucking war either. If I'd had a choice, it would have been tough, but my loyalty to my children would end up outweighing my loyalty to my platoon, and both of them would be infinitely more important to me than any kind of bologna about loyalty to my country.

I had to pick up my best friend once on a whiskey-drunk at 4am holding a pistol to his head because of the hell he went through in Ramadi. If Gov. Walz saw the writing on the wall and got out, good for him...I'm sure he wishes he could have taken 100,000 young men and women with him. I wish he could have taken Sam with him.

The war in Iraq was not "serving your country," it was just another example of rich billionaires sacrificing the lives of poor uneducated people to play their sick games of money and power.
