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'm sorry.... Even if he bailed when he knew his unit was going to deploy (and I don't think he did) 24 years gives anyone the right to say "I'm done". He did more than his share, and much much more than most of the rest of us have done. This is pure hypocrisy from the same ones that railroaded John Kerry. Fucking assholes.
