This is a grey area. There are hundreds of personnel stateside, (military and civilian) analyzing real time audio and video that is used to exploit targets in the Middle East. Cooks in Italy, support pilots that perform activities in the ME. Doctors and nurses in Ramstein support troops in the ME. This really is a grey area.
100% agree. This attack, like Tampon Tim, has also flopped.
They need to find a way to make this stick because the MSM will ignore it
Jail time?
LOL!!
Never happen.
He’s a high-profile democrat in good standing with The Party. As such, he’s untouchable.
it has??? It seems by the hour more and more evidence comes out about tampon Tim claiming he served in enduring freedom...and how do you know the tampon tim attack has flopped?? Because the media has told you as much??
Gee, No one is above the law right?
I posted this on another thread earlier: I am (or have been, in the past) loathe to criticize someone who has served, in any capacity.
But I am done with Democrats.
If this were 1972 and the candidate were George McGovern, I could have found it in myself to rationalize it, and to think that we had political differences, but I would render him default respect for having served as he did in WWII.
But the Democrat Party of 2024 is a very different beast.
In my opinion, any ex-Military who is part and parcel of the 2024 Democrat Party has drawn a defining line that puts them in the category of a domestic enemy of this Republic. The fact that they support what that party does completely repudiates the oath they took to protect and defend this country from its enemies both foreign and domestic.
I may be old fashioned, but I took that oath, and I keep it near to my heart, even if I could not march 20 miles or carry a shipmate up a ladder out of a burning compartment any longer. It means as much to me as the vows I took when I married my wife.
And I don’t think any Democrat who took that oath and supports what that party does can hold both that oath and their actions as a Democrat side by side without one invalidating the other.
I expect Democrat behavior from the likes of Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden. I don’t see them as having any moral compass that serving in the military often installs in people. Or, used to, at least. But when I see Democrat behavior from people who served, it makes me angry.
I see it as a form of betrayal, and it seems more impactful than if it came from the likes of Clinton, Obama, and Biden, because I know they are scorpions. I fully expect it from them.
In that context, Walz is deserving of all abuse, ridicule, and stripping of any prestige he may have expected to retain from his service. And I hope he gets all of that.
In spades.
Probably not a winning electoral issue on it’s own, not that many veterans. More on point, I don’t know the answers, did he receive an Operation Enduring Freedom medal? He would be issued one for support (in the Army’s estimation). If not, did he ever wear or claim to have received said medal? If they’re both no there’s probably no crime here. Exaggerations, looks like it, but not likely Stolen Valor Act violations.
He did falsely claim to have carried his weapon in war.
“We can make sure those weapons of war that I carried in war is the only place where those weapons are at.” - Tim Walz during a speech to ban AR-15s.

A democrat doing time for illegal activity?
That’ll be the day.
“I deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. My battalion provided base security throughout the European theater from Turkey to England”
A “theater of war” in common usage means a place where combat is actually taking place. To say that Enduring Freedom had a “European theater” stretches the meaning of the phrase. No bullets were flying in Italy. There were no IEDs on the road. It was nothing but “la dolce vita” in sunny Italia. Ditto England. Ditto Turkey. To pretend otherwise is disingenuous.
Nothing unusual here.
A Democrat who is both a liar and an America-hating communist.
While this won’t be a destroying issue, it shows him as dishonest and undermines his campaign goal of being THE veteran and combined with the way he handled the DUI it undermines his image as the honest DAD in the campaign, these issues show him to be a casual liar and a phony image maker.
Exposing these major insights into his slickness and image manipulating and managing introduces some real doubt in the public about trusting his wholesome working class DAD image, he is clearly a political animal.
When I speak of my USN service I refer to the Cuban Missile Crisis being "my war". But since I served in the blockade on a repair ship deployed to the Caribbean (a floating machine shop with four 5-inch guns to make it a warship) maybe I'll have to call it "in support of" the blockade!
To a 19-year-old Seaman, those were scary times.
When I speak of my time in the Marines, I have to make it clear to people that I am a Vietnam ERA vet and not a Vietnam vet, as I was never sent there. I was a Test Instrument Repairman and Calibration Tech....................
Indeed. I agree. The fact that some Trump/Vance detractors (or just Harris/walz supporters) don’t think a particular tack is working is irrelevant. They are working because they are being talked about
It may not be SV in the truest sense but Walz’s carefully crafted comments (more than once) and web/bio postings were developed to leave the specific and particular impression he is an Afghanistan veteran. He is NOT and THAT is the part that shows what kind of integrity this man really has.
