I can’t believe Walz was able to get a plea deal to ignore a DUI. Because he said he was deaf from combat? He never served in combat. Who fixed his record for him?
The DUI was in ‘95. He claimed the deafness was service related. Popping off artillery rounds without hearing protection, maybe? Sounds like BS. The .125 BAC is damning, regardless of other factors.
He was in a field artillery unit. That pretty much comes with a 10% disability from deafness.
No, it’s not an excuse for any of his problems. I offer this as an explanation only, not as an “excuse.”
The guy seems like a typical “goofy” politician.
