Does he not think it might look odd hanging out with two teens who were not his students?

It looks like his brother, Jeff Walz, might have something to add. Contrary to what Tim says.
RE: Walz was already politically active by that point
Walz: Wait a minute. You count Chinese Communist Party activity? That’s another matter then.
The list of what he hasn’t lied about is probably much shorter.
There’s a difference between lying and not telling the truth. Lying is an effort to display an act of deceit. Not telling the truth can be letting the listener misconstrue. I can tell you something is red. But if I don’t tell you what shade, you have to guess. I didn’t lie, I just didn’t provide you the whole truth.
Here’s a better example using his situaton:
There is a difference between E-9’s. In the Marine Corps, a master gunnery sergeant and a sergeant major are both E-9s, but the sergeant major has the higher rank. So it’s by position and slot filled under the unit manning document (UMD). And if you have no E-9’s in the unit and it is required then an E-8 can fill the slot. And that includes the “position” of command sergeant major. So if you have no E-9’s, then all of them will be covered by E-8’s if you have them. It isn’t a lie, it’s just not telling the truth and allowing the listener to misconstrue.
We have combat operations all over the world and have had for many years. Was there a combat operation going on while he was still enlisted? Yes. Did he ever use the weapon for anything even to carry a side arm? He did as he had to qualify annually on the range. Therefore he carried a weapon during combat (somewhere). He didn’t most likely shoot anyone other than a target, but he did what he said. Thus he obviously can’t be trusted with the smoke screen he provides for himself. In the military it’s called “talk around.”

If, pray God, Walz does not become VP, his political career in Minnesota is toast. His last campaign for Governor portrayed him draped in all of these lies. Now finally Tampon Tim gets real scrutiny and exposes him as a total phony. I think even the DFL (Democrat Farmer Labor party…as Democrats are known in Minnesota) will shun him for any future political office.
If someone lies to you, do you then trust them? If you do, you are being naive.
