If it was Italy he was probably stationed at USAG in Vicenza. Been there....a really nice area, IMO.

He is a smooth flowing talker, that’s for sure. But in reality he’s a dissembling, gun-grabbing leftist, IMO.

Trump has been under fire more than Walz.

"He said, 'We shouldn't allow weapons that I used in war to be on America's streets.'

Unless, of course, you are a LEO who received TONS of these types of weapons from the Feds!

For Democrats words are weapons of war.

Their candidates are protected by “a bodyguard of lies”.

That’s interesting since the Army no longer has tactical nuclear weapons, and hasn’t since about 1990 when GHWB retired all of them.

I knew people in Italy who did command & control type duties or who worked refueling, etc. Didn’t know them well so I can’t give a lot of details - but they didn’t carry guns “in war” there. Nor did they pretend. IIRC, it was considered a desirable deployment.

Looks like he only buttons the top buttons of his coat. Guess we can tell why.

Brave Sir Timmy Ran Away!

When danger rears it’s ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled!

Yes, brave Sir Timmy turned about,

And gallantly, he chickened out!

Swiftly taking to his feet, he beat a very brave retreat!

Bravest of the Brave, Sir TIMMY!

Yep, that would make him hazardous in all kinds of situations. I wonder if he lied about being how impaired his hearibg was, or if he somehow managed to hide it to stay in uniform.

harshly fact-checked, was it?

They're still able to mitigate the "harsh fact check" with phrases such as "he has used language that suggested that he carried weapons in a fighting situation" and "the vice presidential candidate appeared to previously imply".

With the media, it never ends ...

“Waltz intentionally lied. There is no true but misleading in his statements about carrying weapons in war and retiring as a Sergeants Major.”

Right, but the leftist media will continue to parse and splain away all of the lies by their ‘chosen’ comrades.
