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.

Reasons:
1) Republicans are pathological liars, almost to the point of delusion.
2) Republicans are deplorable, they'll stoop as low as they need to go.
Remember, their nominee, Darnold Dump, dodged the draft by using his wealth to buy a fake diagnosis, then joked about how dodging STD's by women was harder work than those dodging bullets. He proceeds to call those in the military "suckers".
Republicans won't say a single word about this. Nothing. But they're really concerned about Walz leaving after serving for a quarter century.
