John,
I have taken my time in responding to stories about Tim Walz's service record. The hypocrisy astounds me.
Because I am a Trump supporter & running against a liberal career politician, a so-called Pentagon correspondent asked me to provide documented evidence of every time I had been outside the wire on a deployment & every time I received incoming enemy fire.
Contrast this with Tim Walz, whose entire political career appears to be based on a lie: that he served in Iraq when he did not.
He exaggerated his rank. In an effort to disarm law-abiding Americans, he implied he had seen combat when he never did.
All I know for sure is, when I was deployed to Iraq, I never saw Tim Walz there.
In the Navy we used to talk about something called "pulling a deployment muscle." It seems to me that Tim Walz might have suffered just that.
While it upsets me to read how Walz abandoned his unit before the deployment, it frankly upsets me more that this man spent 20 years as a candidate and in elected office, now seeking the Vice Presidency of the United States, and no one in the media asked him before or since any simple question like:
You were supposed to deploy to Iraq, but you quit so you didn't have to go, and then implied for years that you did. Why?
The truth is: we all know the answer. And it is disqualifying for future service as our Vice President.
