🧵I have tried to take my time to respond to stories about Tim Walz's service record. The hypocrisy amazes me.
Because I am a Trump supporter and faced a liberal career politician, I was asked by a so-called Pentagon correspondent to provide documented evidence of every time I was off the wire on a deployment and every time I received incoming enemy fire.
They asked me to provide my medical records and asked why my brain injury didn't earn me a Purple Heart. Contrast this with Tim Walz, whose political career appears to be based on a lie: that he served in Iraq when he didn't.
He exaggerated his rank. In an effort to disarm law-abiding Americans, he implied that he had seen combat when he never did.
All I know for sure is that when I was sent to Iraq, I never saw Tim Walz there.
In the Navy we used to talk about something called “stretching a deployment muscle.” It seems to me that Tim Walz might have suffered from this.
While it bothers me to read how Walz left his unit before deployment, frankly it bothers me more that this man spent 20 years as a candidate and in elected office, now seeking the Vice Presidency of the United States, and no one in the media. asked him before or after any simple question like:
You were supposed to deploy to Iraq, but you resigned so you didn't have to go, and then implied for years that you did. Because?
The truth is, we all know the answer. And it is disqualifying for future service as our vice president.
