    So, 24 years for Walz was not enough service, but 4 years for Vance was enough. Got it.

    After 20 years of service, retirement can come at any time.

    Walz got 24 years in. Your man Trump dodged the draft, what does that tell you about his character?
  4. Danderman123
    Don't worry, you will forget about this right after the election, just like you forgot about Hunter Biden's laptop and Hillary's emails.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/10/us/politics/harris-trump-battleground-polls.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&sgrp=c-cb Not looking good for Trump. This is truly a historic moment in US politics, a collapse of a candidate as we have not seen before.

    Tim Walz had been in the Guard for 24 years when he retired. How long did you want him to stay in?

    I suspect that Trump will be swamped in November, and his books will be looking for new jobs rather than helping Trump stay out of jail. Once it's obvious that Trump will lose, you are going to see him manifesting Alzheimer's as a means of staying out of jail.

    The point is that after 24 years of service, Walz decided to run for Congress, and you can't accept that. By your same logic, Vance left his buddies in the lurch when he bolted from Iraq after just 4 years in the service.

    I sometimes agree with Libertarians - except then I wonder what is their solution to the inevitable emergence of monopolies (which eliminate competition).

    Is that a Communist thing?

    The Republicans have a weak bench right now. Not a lot of Ronald Reagans in the wings. The Trumpers don't care, they love Trump and no one else.
  12. Danderman123
    Common sense. Walz probably knew for some time that he wanted to run for Congress, and he also knew that deployment to Iraq was a possibility, although he didn't know when it might happen. So he filed his retirement paperwork before he filed his election papers. Nothing sinister or unpatriotic.

    Usually these stories end up being cases of US citizens with the same name as a foreigner. Nothingburgers most of the time. The number of foreigners caught voting illegally is something like 29.

    Trump will go down with the ship in November.
  15. Danderman123
    Trump cannot answer questions without simply reciting whatever rant comes to mind. He is far too gone to serve as president. At least Biden would listen to his staff, Trump demands everyone obey him. That would be a serious problem if he were in office again.
  16. Danderman123
    With the possibility of deployment to Iraq out there, not a good idea to file for election. Better to begin the retirement papers and then file for election.
  17. Danderman123
    We're not talking about remaining in the military after being elected. The issue is running for office while in the National Guard.
  18. Danderman123
    Thinking about Trump's recent appearances, he is not looking or sounding good. Something is definitely "off" with him.
  19. Danderman123
    Arizona is certainly in play now, and Kari Lake is a dead weight for the Republicans. Likewise, I believe that Nevada is close to being a lock for Harris. Barring a Black Swan event, of course.
  20. Danderman123
    The odds are he will be the next VP, so you will have a long time to complain about Walz. You can see the way the polls are shifting, and Trump is too feeble to do anything to counter the direction of the campaign.
  21. Danderman123
    You believe Trump's story about a helicopter ride with Willie Brown? Really?
  22. Danderman123
    To be honest, I don't know the requirements to be included as a veteran of a specific military campaign. Perhaps someone else can advise.
  23. Danderman123
    Great to have you on Team Walz. BTW, isn't it about 3 am in the USA right now? I'm in China and it's late afternoon now.
  24. Danderman123
    Everyone in the Guard was acutely aware of the possibility of deployment to Iraq, from 2003 on. So, when preparing his run for Congress, Walz decided to retire from the Guard. Another factor to consider was the educational and testing requirements to continue as a Command Master Sergeant, which were incompatible with running for Congress.
  25. Danderman123
    My Google doesn't work, but I believe that Operation Enduring Freedom was the US military response to 911. As part of that response, Walz was deployed overseas (to Italy), which makes him a veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom.
