The Tim Walz thread.

Some things are a liability when in a war zone but are just an inconvenience in everyday life... but you wouldn't know because you are neither a doctor nor a veteran... At my age now I have no feeling in my feet due to neuropathy however i still play golf three times a week and I walk instead of taking a cart... BUT I would not be fit for military service... something that you would know if you had served... what was your excuse for avoiding the service?

Never served, I was too old for Vietnam. I probably would have made a terrible soldier anyway, because I question everything.

 

That said, I have nothing but respect for people who serve in the military.

 

OTOH, I have no respect for people who support a felon, fraudster, sexual predator and coward. In case you have not noticed, Trump is a bully, and all bullies are cowards.

 

I play golf too. Nearly 70 years now. IMO it's the only game with an honor system, referees not mandatory.

 

Tell me, do you think Trump honors the game when he cheats, and buys golf courses so he can put his name on the championship boards?

Got it, name calling like your hero. The last resort of someone who has already lost the argument.

 

You say you have served in the military. Please explain how Trump's comments about fallen soldiers are reconciled with your political beliefs, it's a paradox I don't understand.

Perhaps Trump was not fit for military service, for a different reason.

Someone who calls those KIA suckers and losers, doesn't want to be seen with disabled veterans, is not fit to polish their boots.

 

You are just making excuses for him. Pathetic clutching at straws, while others denigrate a person who served his country for 24 years. It's disgusting.

7 days a week abusing Trump

I see, you have telepathic powers which can determine Walz's motivations in quitting when he did. 24 years of service is not enough for you.

OTOH, you support a person who evaded military service by claiming he had bone spurs, which apparently did not prevent him playing thousands of rounds of golf thereafter.

That's not ignorant, that's <deleted> in the head.

Once a month for 24 years is pretend soldier.

I smell a lefty. Golf is walking or cart. Requires very little fitness. You claim to be a golfer but don't know the basics.

We can probably leave Trump out of the discussion, if you are capable.  If.  Suffice to say he took the same path that many did to avoid Vietnam- multiple student deferments, then when those ran out either a medical or National Guard stint or..... 

 

As I have endlessly stated, I have nothing but respect for Walz serving in the Guard. However... the timing and manner of his rather sudden departure are worthy of investigation. Especially since he suddenly decided to leave in the middle of his enlistment contract. 

 

Also, his conduct afterwards cannot be excused. Referring to himself as a veteran of OIF, as a man who carried weapons into battle, and so on. Also allowing others to use the same lies about him in the press and for political gain. Military veterans are famously very very precise about language when it pertains to their service. Walz knew exactly what he was doing when he chose to embellish (to be polite) his service and use it as a political tool.

Is the training once a month or once a fortnight or does it vary?

Gotta disagree there. The Guard units I trained with were almost always very professional. They tend to be geographically based, so the men know each other in civilian life as well as military. It is hard to compare to regular service to the Guard. 

 

The problem is when people talk about Walz' '24 years of military service'. It is easy for folks to confuse that with serving24 years in the regular Army. That is why veterans invariably will be specific and say, "I was in the National Guard for ...years".  And when politiical idiots try to compare it with Vance doing 4 years in the Marines? It gets silly.

Well, you might want to leave Trump out of the discussion. I am pretty sure Walz and Harris won't, if Vance keeps mouthing off about

Walz's record.

Again, not true. You are repeating a fabrication that a Republican state legislature member had circulated.  On the contrary, the order since replaced by a law enacted by the state legislature, protected parental rights to seek treatment.  Have you read the actual Executive Order?

Please cite the  section of the order that supports your claim.  To help you out, since  it does not appear you have read the  instruction, it is Executive order 23-03 and is found here  https://mn.gov/governor/assets/EO 23-03 Signed and filed_tcm1055-568332.pdf

 

Please  show me where the Order says what you claim it says and I will gladly acknowledge your point.

The Guardsmen I trained with did one weekend a month, and a two week training course in the summer. Of course, YMMV. That is the minimum. There were also specialist training courses where Guard soldiers would train with regular Army for weeks/months at a time, but those were voluntary and depended on their particular MOS.

Posts like this from Trump's hard of thinking offspring will do wonders for Walz .

 

This is exactly what the America voters are sick of.

14 days

24 x 24 = 480 + 96 = 576

 

590 days is what he did over 24 years. Better than none but not Rambo.

They fished Walz out of the stinkiest side of the dumpster. Everybody else said no. It is said that even Shapiro backed away. He drew the long straw. 

"It is said..."

 

Here's another cool way to introduce things that you know aren't true:

"A man came up to me with tears in his eyes and he said 'Oh Mr. Cryingdick...'"

then you just plug in the lie you wanna tell.

If you were a Biden supporter, so were you. Or a Clinton supporter back in the day, or Bush Jr. But those guys, for their sins, at least did not put their unit at risk by leaving at a critical time.  Replacing a senior NCO like Walz in the weeks/months before an overseas deployment is almost impossible.
