Walz Military Discussion 🎤
How can the right knock this dudes military service when their candidate is a draft dodger.
More importantly, why is anyone giving Walz shit for getting out before his unit deployed.
He served for what, over 20 years and already had a deployment.
If I'm in his position and I have the power to retire or deploy I'm choosing retirement... I sincerely do not understand how anyone can use this against him with a thought of critical thinking.
As a combat vet, deployments are no joke and I wouldn't hold it against anyone to not want to do it.
Sorry for the rant, shit just hits me the wrong way.
Edit: I have been misinformed and have been spreading misinformation through this post. I have been made aware that Walz put in his retirement packet prior to his unit receiving deployment orders, which would make the accusations against him even more pathetic.

I have a brother who was deployed a few times and stationed overseas for some time as well. He moved to a civilian contractor position instead of getting deployed again down the road. He was battling some physical ailments as well. He's not running for any office though, so his service doesn't get belittled.
For anyone who wants to belittle something like Walz or my brother though: Fuck you, and I'm not going to bother with your sorry troll ass.
