Vance would have been issued an M-4 along with that typewriter.
All Marines are, first and foremost, rifleman.
Not defending Vance, he's a piece of shit, but let's get it right.
My MOS was a Heavy Equipment Operator and in the combat zones I was deployed to, I was issued a rifle and a sidearm and was trained how to use them.

I refuse to belittle a veteran's service that by all accounts, served honorably, as did Tim Walz, despite what Vance and the lunatic MAGAt's say.
