The Daily Fetched ^ | 8 August 2024 | Jason Walsh

Kamala Harris’ running mate pick, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, boasts on his resume that he is a National Guard veteran, but a few issues have come to light.

Retired Minnesota Guard Command Sgt. Maj. Thomas Behrends said Walz left military service in 2005 after receiving a warning order that his unit, the 1-125th Field Artillery Battalion, was to be deployed to Iraq, according to Alpha News.

I believe there will be a large section of the Lib population that won’t care about this stolen valor issue, it just won’t pop up on their radar.

They don’t care.

Example:

Sen Dick “Stolen Valor” Blumenthal (D-CT).

If you haven’t been in the military, as Obama and Harris have not, you don’t get it.

But independents might. Especially independants who themselves or had family in the military.

Walz is Kamala Harris’s Michael Dukakis in a tank moment.

Hope he’s studying Lee Atwater’s tactics. He’s got LOTS of ammo against Walz - and Harris.

Nobody on the left cares. Good Character, Integrity and Principles are things few have and that were once notable and respected. They have been rare because few people are willing to do the hard things it takes to have these things.

Just my opinion but Vance should make his service clear before someone else does, again before he draws a legitimate bead on walz and his illegitimacy.

From cnn: "Vance served four years in the Marine Corps as an enlisted combat correspondent, in public affairs, and deployed once to Iraq for roughly six months, according to his military record. He left service in September 2007 as a corporal."

On the Erick Erickson program, the host said that Bloomberg is revising its historic articles on Walz to remove this. Maybe by Monday all such records will be gone. Save them now while you can.

From 1984: What happened in the unseen labyrinth to which the pneumatic tubes led, he did not know in detail, but he did know in general terms. As soon as all the corrections which happened to be necessary in any particular number of 'The Times' had been assembled and collated, that number would be reprinted, the original copy destroyed, and the corrected copy placed on the files in its stead. This process of continuous alteration was applied not only to newspapers, but to books, periodicals, pamphlets, posters, leaflets, films, sound-tracks, cartoons, photographs--to every kind of literature or documentation which might conceivably hold any political or ideological significance. Day by day and almost minute by minute the past was brought up to date. In this way every prediction made by the Party could be shown by documentary evidence to have been correct, nor was any item of news, or any expression of opinion, which conflicted with the needs of the moment, ever allowed to remain on record. All history was a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary. In no case would it have been possible, once the deed was done, to prove that any falsification had taken place.

Walz said he carried a weapon in war.

What I wanna know is - besides WWII - when were we at war in Italy?

"But independents might. Especially independants who themselves or had family in the military."

And ^^ this ^^ is what people on the (R) side of the isle must keep in mind.

This issue about Stolen Valor, or any of the countless other issues, is not about the leftists and whether or not they care about issues of national security/morality/tampons-in-boys-bathrooms/inflation/etc. We know where they're minds are and there's no rot removal possible.

It's about the perpetual fence sitter voters out there.

Make no mistake, "we" need their vote just as much as we need (R)/conservative votes. Without them, low-iq-heels-up-harris and tampon-tim-stolen-valor-walz will be at the helm of our country.

Megyn Kelly begins by discussing the truth about Minn. Governor and Dem VP pick Tim Walz’s military record, the reality about him leaving the National Guard, “stolen valor” claims and the facts, how Walz and the left are trying to spin this massive controversy.
