Even if absolutely true, he still lied about his service on multiple other occasions. Doing it 5 times and saying hey one time I was taken. out of context doesnt really change anything
“Fake, but accurate.”
“Bagram was in Iraq, stem from a written version of his remarks at a 9/11 memorial service that differ from the remarks he actually gave. “ This sounds like Josh Steiner lying to his diary.
“Fact Checkers” are Democrat rapid response teams that started in 2007/2008 to defend Obama against Rev. Wright “smears”. The genius of it is that most people think that fact checkers are just checking the facts which is completely false.
I heard he’s up for a purple heart due to these attacks and possibly a MOH.
Judge for yourselves:
More proof of “Tampon Tim” claiming something that never happened:
In Gov. Walz’ entry into the pamphlet “Minnesota In The Global War On Terrorism” he stated this obvious lie:
And I think of all those emotions I went through when our country was attacked: 374 Minnesota in the Global War on Terrorism fear, anger, confusion, hope, pride, a desire for revenge, guilt. As for me, I was sitting in room 114 at Mankato West High School right before school started. And in a typical high school, there was the noise in the halls, and it was a new school year. But then kids started coming in and sitting in classrooms and the TV was on, and those events started to unfold, and that room got fuller and quieter and there were tears and fear and confusion.
In the years after that classroom, I had the privilege of serving in this state’s national guard. I stood one night in the dark of night on the tarmac at Bagram Air Base in Iraq and watched a military ramp ceremony–a soldier’s body being loaded onto a plane to be returned home. And if you’ve seen it, you don’t leave the same. It makes you wonder, what are we doing? What are we trying to get to? And then watching as all of you have been, the confusing last few weeks with the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan.
Snopes is technically right in their assessment of Walz’s speech, but they nonetheless deceive their readers in the same way Walz deceived his listeners during his speech. He intentionally leaves out details of his various journeys so that the audience will conflate his year with his NG service in Italy during the war with a deployment in either Iraq or Afghanistan. He even goes as far as to imply that he was a lucky one who came home form his overseas NG service when others didn’t, which leave the audience assuming that he survived his tour of duty solely due to luck rather than being “deployed” to Italy where he faced absolutely no danger. This guy is very slippery.
He can’t tell you where he was. Seal teams move in total secrecy.
While stationed in Italy, he asked his mom to send him another set of false teeth, but there was a mix up and the package was sent to Afghan. When the mistake was discovered the package was sent on to Italy.
He proudly wears those same false teeth today. So its true he ( or part of him ) did visit Afghan.
It’s the old trick of smacking down something particular that is related to the claim, but not specifically accurate—and then proclaiming it false and letting people think any related claim is false.
Balad air base is in Iraq. Space-A used to fly out of Balad for GE/US-bound C-17 flights.
The fact check begs the question of where the written version of the speech originated and how did it come to be included in the publication and if you can think of any source other than Walz or his office be my guest and I have a bridge to sell you. Snopes loves “context” and uses it to explain away their own lying eyes. So here is the truth Walz or his office put out a copy of his speech which claimed Bagram was in Iraq and Walz was there on a National Guard deployment to gussy up his bona fides and mislead the public. In other words he is a lying sack of horse manure. And so is Snopes.
