Think about the moment in the VP Debate when Vance brings up the fact that Walz retired to avoid the combat that Vance enlisted for.

Walz reenlisted 7 days after 9/11, after serving his 20. That’s not what you would do if you were afraid of service during wartime like Trump.

By the way, that article I linked - it's from 6 years ago.

My what prescient Swiftboaters they were!

Like I wrote they wasted no time to deploy. Hell, they were already in the water!

I've listened to Walz. I know he is a masculine and common sense sort of pick for the left. I didn't so much like the language he used when he called Trump a bastard. He wants to position himself that way, it will align the opposition.

And another loss for Trump to Biden. Trump only got 4 student deferments and on 1-Y classification. Biden got FIVE student deferments and a 1-Y deferment.

WINNER!

I listened to his interview in which calls Trump that. Didn’t care much for it all either. He does not use the epithet with the same erudition and panache as Sean Bean:

The most spontaneous, unscripted, not cringe-worthy phone call ever.

You know, the wife has multiple kinfolk who served in Vietnam. Including one with a bronze or silver star (TBH, I've forgotten which).

I don't think I've ever heard any of them knock anybody for staying out of Nam, by any legal means possible.

The Vietnam service argument might work with some of the below 40 crowd, who simply don't know any better, but I thinks it's a non-issue.

I am so pissed at DeSantis.

[Mik]

For?

[Jolly]

Walz...The guy that let his city burn for three days, while trying to get people to snitch on their neighbors for playing basketball outside.

One man's socialism is another man's neighborliness. - Walz

Well, if you like riots and Stazi-light, he's your guy...

@Mik said in It's Walz:

For?

Running a piss poor campaign and not truly laying into Trump like he could have and should have.

[Aqua Letifer]

I'll tell you what I'm disappointed about.

It's been a whole freaking day and still no one here has made this joke.

That turkey tater tot hot dish makes me want to hurl 🤮

Walz is only a few months older than Harris, but he looks 15-20 years older.

On gun control, Walz is ignorant and lying.

Maybe he means the war on poverty, or war on drugs, or war on illiteracy, or war on wokeness.
Actually, I don’t know if he has been to those other wars either.

Good point.

It's possible, just possible, that he carried a weapon in those wars (though I doubt it for the last one in your list).
