The GOBers are running ads about Walz's military career?

He retired just before his unit was called to duty in the Middle East.

He was a Command Sergeant Major & most likely would be held back for administrative duties?

Unlike the weasel with bone spurs who got deferments from his father to avoid serving!

severely remonstrates this shameless attack on the stellar military career of Tim Walz, her running mate, but also to condemn past similar attacks on veterans Max Cleland and John Kerry, both Democrats AND Trump's attack on John McCain for his heroism during Vietnam.

All they're doing is pissing off vets like myself.
I'm glad that the Harris/Walz campaign aren't going after Vance's military record, that would be a huge mistake, by all accounts, Walz and Vance served honorably and I would take issue with either one's military record being sullied with lies.

Bottom line is don't go there, slam Vance on his stances but don't go after him for his time in the Marines, that's a loser with most vets.

Where Donald says his Vietnam experience was avoiding gonorrhea in New York. Its on tape.
