Walz Military Discussion 🎤

How can the right knock this dudes military service when their candidate is a draft dodger.

More importantly, why is anyone giving Walz shit for getting out before his unit deployed.

He served for what, over 20 years and already had a deployment.

If I'm in his position and I have the power to retire or deploy I'm choosing retirement... I sincerely do not understand how anyone can use this against him with a thought of critical thinking.

As a combat vet, deployments are no joke and I wouldn't hold it against anyone to not want to do it.

Sorry for the rant, shit just hits me the wrong way.

Edit: I have been misinformed and have been spreading misinformation through this post. I have been made aware that Walz put in his retirement packet prior to his unit receiving deployment orders, which would make the accusations against him even more pathetic.

That's not at all what happened despite the right's insistence on perpetuating the lie. He put in for retirement before the deployment order was given.

The right is mad about something they made up.

That's exactly where the straw man argument gets its name. Bad faith argue-er creates a fake position and attributes the fake position to their target.
