There are ways to say things that while true are misleading. For example I can truthfully say that I have a disability as a result of my uniformed military combat service supporting OEF. It was for tinnitus resulting from living on a combat operations airfield.

There was a hilarious scene in the "M*A*S*H" TV show where Frank Burns put in for, and was awarded a Purple Heart for "catching a shell fragment" in his eye. Hawkeye said "I treated that injury, Frank; you cracked open an egg and got an egg shell fragment in your eye!".

Tim Walz is the Frank Burns of our era...

Looking back, I was stung by a bee on REFORGER ‘77. Right on the temple, my eye was swollen shut for two days. Never thought about it much over the years. No, it was certainly not Purple Heart stuff…lol, ridiculous.

He is old enough to have been in the Balkans while it was still a shooting war zone in the early 1990s people got combat service ribbons for Kosovo and the Balkans. I wonder if his Italian unit ever crossed the sea into that clusterF Clinton got us into. He certainly would have plenty of trigger time on the M16A2/3, M4 and M249 or 240 probably the M9 and M19 as well. He is of course referring to the M16 family which is similar to the civy AR platform in appearance but only LEO/MIL get the select fire post 1986 so not the same weapons system. Either way he is a gun grabbing commie which also proves about half the military are firmly lefties never forget that.

With today’s precision aiming and locating of targets, big yield is not much of a factor anymore.

Walz served in Vietnam with Richard Blumenthal ... that qualifies as combat.

Walz is more like John Kerry- actually did serve in a war zone, but exaggerated his injuries.

And look at how focused on their candidates those three people in the lower right corner are. I wonder who Harris and Timmah are waving at ?

I heard a different version: that his deafness caused balance issues which is why he failed the field sobriety tests.

Then one of the debate questions for him should be ... What did you use or take to get this miracle cure to your hearing and balance issues? Vets across the nation would like the chance to attempt to cure their hearing.

“If he had been that deaf,”

How could he hear the officer telling him he was pulled over for speeding ?

When you lose your hearing it doesn't come back. How come he can hear fine now ?

They were celebrating themselves. Walz is really beside himself he was picked....everyone else is beside themselves too but for other reasons!

Walz has long-billed himself as a retired Command Sergeant Major —
when in reality he was demoted to the lower rank of master sergeant.


Did Walz collect retirement pay as a Command Sergeant
Major — or as the lower ranked master sergeant?
