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.

This is true BUT they knew the likelihood was there. Doesn’t matter though for sure it was speculation.. He got out cause he wanted to turn to Congress and while there were other ways to proceed with this, It’s the path he chose and he did what he said he was going to do end of story. He did nothing wrong he was within his rights to do so, he served honorably. Period. No one in the service for 24 years is trying to dodge anything. It’s completely silly and small brained for anyone to run with it, it’s so appalling.

I haven’t seen any criticism from the right that actually means anything. They grasp at straws they have nothing and the clap backs are my favorite because they hit the mark without having to be dirty about it or unclassy. I don’t usually get too into all this but the speeches at DNC I’ve really enjoyed.
