Numerous journalists have called out this lie.

Yeah, 'journalists like those in the L.A. Times, and CNN/MSNBC/NY Time, and most of the liberal media; meaning NOT credible 'journalists' and very biased journalists. The real lie is that' journalists believe Walz and that Walz 'served honorably'. The honorable thing for him to have done is to wait and serve with his unit when called to action.

They have also reported that the “people he served with” are Republicans rooting for former President Trump.

What the L.A Times is implying with that is that, republicans he 'served with' cannot be believes because, they support Trump. If democrats and the liberal media had their way, Walz would be turned into bonafide hero equal to General Patton.

Robin needs to walk in the shoes of someone she no doubt admires, namely Britney Griner.

It took 10 months in a Russian Gulag but Britney’s apparently come around as demonstrated at the olympics where he/she stood his/her ass up straight with his/her hand over his/her heart. All of a sudden, Britney is IN LOVE with America............like the rest of us.

Robin needs about 10 months in the same cell Griner occupied. Like millions of Vets, including this one, I guarantee she would then sing a different tune regarding the #2 traitor and slime ball of our time, John Kerry. Jane Fonda being #1.

Robin needs to be asking the guy who had to take over Walz’s slot what HE thinks about what Walz did.

These NG groups aren’t like regular Active Duty units. They’ve been at it for decades with each other, meeting up, training, and deploying when called. There’s also a closeness with the surrounding community around where they serve and when they come from.

I remember our guard coming home as a unit. The fire department rolled out the big ladder rigs and hung welcome banners between them on the I575 over pass where they’d leave I575. People wait hours for them to land, get through ATL and get there. You just don’t walk away from that without a word just because you got a shot at a gig in Congress, IMO.

Vance is not criticizing the service; he’s criticizing the
lies.

Nobody is criticizing service, we are criticizing his lies about his rank.

But we should simply focus on his "service" while in office:
Pedo is now a protected class under sexual orientation...
Babies born alive are not given life-saving treatment...
And now are not even reported as having not been given such treatment...
Parents have parental rights stripped from them if and when a school decides that a child needs to be sterilized...
Nursing homes were forced to take in Covid patients...

This is what the Harris-Walz ticket wants to bring to all of America.

“”Numerous journalists have called out this lie.””

THAT’S pretty much like - “our sources tell us”......This is always used as a disclaimer just in case people aren’t going to believe the author...it means - I HAVE BACKUP, folks!

A good lawyer always digs through the hiding and lies.Democrats you have to elect them to know what they want to do. Aka Pelosi’s pass it to know what’s in it mentality.

John Kerry ran ashore from his Swift Boat, into a village, threw a grenade into the village grain store. No enemy present, no return fire. Fired his M16 into huts
This from his crew.

“Numerous journalists have called out this lie.”
————-
Except it’s not a lie, it’s been proven to be true.

Also, it’s rather ironic that in 2004, the Dems lauded Kerry, a reporter in a combat zone, and criticized Bush for being in the NG. Now that Vance was the reporter in a combat zone and Tampon Tim was in the NG (as knit not when it counted), they changed their minds…with no acknowledgment of that fact, let alone an apology to Bush.

Kerry also got a purple heart because the got a splinter in his arm when he threw the grenade into the rice. The medic put a bandage on it. Self inflicted. Medic said it didn’t deserve a purple heart because no enemy was involved and it was such a small wound.

Kerry also filed the report on the incident and claimed he was under fire, put himself in for the medal.

That’s not what is in question. Walz claims to have been in a war zone, carried a weapon of IN war, etc.

The "weapon OF war" dodge is the dems' current attempt to justify the blatant lie of what he and Kamala both said - that he carried a weapon IN war.

Words mean things (unless you are a democrat, apparently).

Walz smeared the truth of his own service, he tried to pretty up the dirty spots he created.

Vance trying to get truth revealed is not smearing.
