Veterans Confront Tim Walz’s Staff over ‘False Afghanistan Service Claims’ in Unearthed 2009 Clip
Disswire.com ^ | 8 August 2024 | Bradley Greer

Tim Walz’s military service controversy took a more profound turn this week after a resurfaced clip from 2009 showed a pair of veterans confronting his staff with accusations of “stolen valor.”

Stolen valor, the act of falsely claiming military service, honors, or awards that one has not earned, is often used by those seeking to gain benefits.

According to the Stolen Valor Act of 2013, it is a federal crime to fraudulently claim receipt of certain military awards, which can lead to fines and imprisonment.

Think how fun the VP debate will be.

A real decorated hero vs. a Stolen Valor phony.

Under the Stolen Valor Act, someone who embellishes their rank in order to obtain tangible benefits under fraud is liable

Tangible benefits like a taxpayer salary from the US government and a state governorship

....sadly, only those of us who are loyal FReepeers and who (probably...) watch conservative TV would be aware of this...most folks probably have no idea whatsoever about the implications of all this....we, as veterans, certainly do....hopefully, we’ll ALL remember this on the 5th of November....!!

I agree, I also agree with Sam77—since only about 6% of the U.S. population has ever served in the military.

Most could care less about his lying—democrats will still portray him as a war hero (since he at least served).

You are probably right.

I’d put the odds at 2:1 that Walz and/or Harris won’t make it to or past the convention.

It seems to me that he was using the National Guard to not actually perform something meaningful, but to get the benefits. A salary,pension , healthcare benefits. You also get commissary privileges and using recreational facilities on base. When it was his time to serve in Iraq, he left. Taxpayers paid for this guy to use the system.

you think the left is that dumb?

how many times do you think they can get away with changing horses?

That said, I think the democrats have come to grips with the fact that they will lose the white house, I suspect the cheat will be tried by the bulk will be down ballot. Governor, house/senate seats, State SOS offices, AG offices.. Expect them to (try and) steal the house and hold the senate.

take over the states (like they did in MN and CA) and they can take over the nation once they have enough states firmly in their control.

Rats play the long game, I suspect this is their plan.

“ People only care about economy, inflation and illegals.‘

If that is truly ALL the people care about, Trump has already crushed Kamala, and she has nocampaign whatsoever.

So carry on destroying this fraud, if those are the the only issues, this thing is already over.

Exactly. Minnesota does not a traditional military history like many southern states. But it has a strong reserve and National Guard history. Before action in the Middle East, few units got deployed to combat situations but that all changed with Iraq.

What once was a wa of getting a salary, perks, and retirement changed to a scenario in which one actually had skin in the game.

I suspect that when that happened, Walz reasoned a deployment to a combat zone meant it was time to get out.

Hard to read somebody’s mind, but that would be my guess.

I’m kinda thinking they’ll dump this guy the more he’s found out. That’s the way they roll.

They are back to the same calculation that they were at with Biden…and all the choices are bad now as they were bad then (if anyone even remembers a month ago). The media frenzy of Marxist propaganda will only work so long. Eventually they will have to pivot to “elect Democrats to Congress and governorships to keep Trump in check.”

And that’s most likely what they’ll do. Let Kamala try to divide the sexes and pull in as many women as she can. Ditch this Walz guy for a woman who will go onto the ticket for an all woman show (no one serious about running in the future will take the slot). And their resources will go into down ballot survival to be an anchor on Trump.

It’s their best play, and they’ve screwed the pooch twice already. They’ll see it once they’ve come to grips with their options.
