More Stolen Valor Garbage: Walz Began His Political Career With Blatant Lie About Having Fought in the War on Terrorism; Atlantic Reporter Won't Say If Walz Lied to Him About Being a Combat Veteran, or If He Just Made It Up to Help Out the Team

Walz has been lying about being a combat veteran longer than he's been a shitheel leftwing politician.

Chuck Ross:

Tim Walz Falsely Claimed He Served in Afghanistan. When a Local Vet Called Him Out, His Office Did Nothing.
Walz launched his first congressional campaign as 'a veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom'
Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz has described himself as "a veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom," the official name of the U.S. government's war in Afghanistan following the Sept. 11 attacks.
But Walz never deployed to the Middle East. And, when an Iraq war veteran confronted Walz's aides with evidence of what he called "stolen valor," his aides didn't do much to address his concerns.
As a first-time congressional candidate in 2006, Walz's campaign announcement described him as "a veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom," an archived version of the press release shows. Two years earlier, in 2004, Walz organized a protest against then-President George W. Bush in Mankato, Minn. A photo of the rally shows Walz carrying a sign reading "Enduring Freedom Veterans for Kerry."
Such a title historically applies to someone who served on the ground in Afghanistan during the Global War on Terrorism. Walz, a 24-year veteran of the Army National Guard, spent time in Norway in support of NATO forces and in Italy working in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. He had never seen combat, he told Minnesota Public Radio in 2018.
Walz's claims spurred Iraq war veteran David Thul, a sergeant in the Minnesota National Guard, to approach Walz's aides at the Democrat's Mankato office in 2009. Thul filmed the encounter, in which a staffer told Thul she was "not aware" of Walz serving in Afghanistan. Thul went on to present the 2004 photo of Walz, as well as Walz's website, to another aide, who acknowledged that constituents could get the false impression that Walz served in Afghanistan.
"Operation Enduring Freedom is limited to Afghanistan and the airspace directly above," Thul told the aide. "Congressman Walz is clearly claiming ... to be an Enduring Freedom veteran. Nobody disputes the fact that he is not an Afghanistan or Enduring Freedom veteran. So this represents a fairly serious issue." Asked whether he understood how constituents could falsely "assume that means [Walz] served in Afghanistan," the aide responded, "Perhaps, I guess."
The aide did not dispute that Walz was pictured in the 2004 photograph, and, indeed, a 2006 Atlantic article describes the spectacle of the future governor protesting the Bush visit with a group of high school students. The aide told Thul he would follow up with him. A source familiar with the situation said neither Walz nor his staffers followed through with that pledge.
Walz, who has called himself a "citizen soldier," has been accused before of embellishing his military service. Two Minnesota National Guardsmen said in 2022 that Walz falsely claimed he reached the rank of command sergeant major. But Walz did not fulfill the duties required to maintain that rank before he quit the service in 2005.
And Walz, in a video posted this week by the Harris campaign, called for a ban on the kind of guns "that I carried in war," the Washington Free Beacon reported.

Jordan Schachtel: Walz didn't just mislead people about being a combat veteran in Iraq, he straight-up lied about it.

Stolen Valor: Tim Walz launched political career on false claim as combat veteran in the War on Terror

VP candidate told public and media that he ran for office after fighting in Iraq.
The Tim Walz Stolen Valor story goes back to the very beginning of his political career. From the onset of his foray into national politics, Walz sold himself to the public and the media as a combat veteran of the Global War on Terror, masking the reality that he quit the military to run for office and avoid being deployed to Iraq.
...
Just months after leaving his battalion to go to Iraq without him, he announced a run for Congress, and the dissembling about his serivce record began immediately.
Instead of being honest about his early departure from the military, Walz told the media a much more heroic tale, one that was entirely ficticious.
Bloomberg's Joshua Green, then employed at The Atlantic, was the first major reporter to profile Walz. In a piece discussing the then-congressional candidate, Green writes that in 2004, Walz left his hometown in Minnesota "to serve overseas in Operation Enduring Freedom."
It's unclear if this is Green, a veteran reporter, omitting major facts, or if Walz is selling Green on a particular narrative. Nonetheless, the assertion is incredibly misleading, as it leaves the reader under the impression that Walz served as boots on the ground in the Global War on Terror, when in reality, he merely deployed to Italy in 2003 for a six month stint.
It gets much worse.

Yes, that first claim is misleading though not factually false: He did serve "overseas" -- in Italy -- in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.

But here's where Walz completely removes the fig-leaf from the lie:

Green discusses a 2004 visit from former President George W. Bush to Gov. Walz's hometown, in which a protesting Walz (who was still serving in the military) supposedly demanded to speak to the then commander in chief.
"Walz thought for a moment and asked the Bush staffers if they really wanted to arrest a command sergeant major who'd just returned from fighting the war on terrorism," Green writes.

While the first instance can be written off as an issue of unclear reportage, the second example cannot be explained away. Walz was not just serving in a support role for the war effort (from Italy), he had been "fighting the war on terrorism."
According to the article, Walz was picked out of relative obscurity by Democrat operatives due to his military service. These operatives went out and recruited "veterans from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq," Green writes.
To this day, Green remains under the false impression that Walz served and fought in the war. In a piece for Bloomberg on Tuesday, he wrote that Walz served "in Iraq as part of Operation Enduring Freedom."
In marketing Walz as a veteran upstart politician, he created a false construct that involved heroism in the war in terror, when in reality, Tim Walz never fought in a war or anywhere near a war.

Green has not yet reported whether he made this claim up himself to boost Democrat candidates or if Walz lied to him.

You know that these motherfuckers are liars because they never, and I mean never, take Democrats to task for lying to them.

Because they're on board with the lies themselves. Green doesn't view Walz as having deceived him; he views Walz as pushing an effective, useful lie on the public. And he's not embarrassed to have been hoodwinked or mis-used; he's proud to have done his part to advance propaganda helpful to The Great Patriotic Soviet Cause.

Mussolini called it "national socialism". National socialism is the only socialism that has had any lifetime of existence.

Russia expanded an empire, but it remained an empire. The first on the map, they could argue that it was the "international spread", but Mao, of course could not.

We grant that Mao is a "Marxist", but we do not note that he didn't simply merge with the "international socialists" of Soviet empire, who we also grant as "Marxists".

The only thing that Mussolini and Hitler did different was simply not plan to extend to an international transformation. Gentile and Mussolini liked the stability of a state.

Stalin and Mao begrudgingly confirmed G & M's suspicions that the state would remain.

The real world "Marxists" ran states. Cuba didn't become "Marxland South". Korea didn't become PRC-East. The people at the top of these states have problems relinquishing control.

Marxism reduces things down to a single point of failure, the ambition of the revolution's leaders.

58 Tim Walz's normal dad energy is causing MAGA to come unglued. Walz is the opposite of weird: Kamala Harris' running mate shows masculinity can be about love and not hate. By Amanda Marcotte

As a male friend texted me, "there is a genuine hunger out there — I see it in many of my students — for some kind of positive model of how to be in the world as a straight white dude." Trump and his acolytes offer an exhausting and harmful model, that is entitled, rage-fueled, and its heart, deeply insecure. Walz, however, seems comfortable in his own skin. He shows there's nothing wrong with liking football and fixing your own car — both are fine uses of a person's time! All that "traditional man" stuff can live quite comfortably with "woke" ideas like "women are people, too."

As Walz has persuasively posited, his is the more normal way to be. It's the MAGA try-hards who are the weirdoes. The phrase "tonic masculinity" — in opposition to the toxic masculinity of MAGA — soon started to spread online.

tonic masculinity: it helps and heals, instead of harming. It's the antidote to toxic, and I love it.

Half of what these weirdos talk about is related to peoples genitals.

And he's not embarrassed to have been hoodwinked or mis-used; he's proud to have done his part to advance propaganda helpful to The Great Patriotic Soviet Cause.

82 New CNBC poll has Trump leading Harris by 2.

If NBC is saying this, probably means Trump is up by 5.

If Trump leads the national vote, essentially guarantees big electoral college win.

I'm cautiously optimistic.

"he views Walz as pushing an effective, useful lie on the public."

The lie is useful because the public cares about whether of not someone served as they claimed.

The public caring is what is going to burn his ass for lying.

87 The only reason they ever showed Trump ahead - which many if not all of us had wondered about throughout the Spring - was because they were dumping him and going to bring in this Comeback Queen narrative. It was 100% planned.

89 Most people I know, like me, who served and left service, are careful not to overstate. I am very proud of my service on the East-West German border when the wall came down. We then deployed to Kuwait in May/June 1991 to relieve the guys who had fought the war and as a show of force/patrol group. My dad would proudly say I was a Desert Storm veteran and I would sheepishly say "not really--technically it was still Desert Storm but there was no combat. It was over" Was there some danger? not really more than any military unit. Did I take the combat pay and the tax break for being in a combat zone? yes.
But I have always made clear it was not during the war. I say I served in Germany and Kuwait--not in Desert Storm.
I knew a guy who ran for local office and said "I was deployed during Desert Storm." Technically true, but he was deployed to Fort Stewart, GA, not Iraq, so that was a scumbag move because he was implying service in the zone. That's what Walz has done, and he has clearly made it a practice and the crowds eat it up.
It's disgusting.

93 I would remind everyone, polling is rather dishonest, the splits are wildly random, and the target area audience manipulated to drive a perspective.

Kamala's entry into the race has done one thing maybe, driven up the youth vote for her at the expense of senior votes moving to Trump. That's not a good trade.

The race hasn't moved much off the margins, a tightly divided country with Trump slightly ahead.

Unless the rules changed since I was a company commander, this kinda depends. I told my troops that if they wanted to participate in a political rally, or to protest something they cold not do it in uniform, nor could they speak, even if in civilian cloths, as a representative of the Army. Further, I told them there is a clause in the UCMJ covering "disparaging words and actions" that is a butt-biting catchall forgetting an Article 15.

Probably a bit of B and III.

Kamala's campaign is being run by old Obama retreads, and Obama's the guy with a wife who said, "All for a damn flag," during an Independence Day ceremony.

Their circles don't give a shit about service. They lie constantly about their own accomplishments. It's all fake and gay in their own lives.

Plus, they've been insulated from having to breach their circle by things like 1.7 million GA ballots having no image from 2020 out of 5 million total.

I don't. Biden was noticeably losing blacks, women, and young people. I think he was actually being artificially held up and was much lower in reality.

185 XTC, the quote from article BIL chose to highlight:

"As a member of the Army National Guard, Walz helped respond to major natural disasters, worked in firearm and artillery training, received commendations as a prolific sharpshooter, and was sent to Italy to support U.S. operations in Afghanistan as part of Operation Enduring Freedom. In 2005, Walz ended his military career to pursue a successful run for Congress, he retired honorably with a slew of awards and medals and the rank of master sergeant — an administrative downgrade from command sergeant major, which he had been promoted to earlier in the year but had not completed training for.
Vance was deployed for six months in Iraq as a combat correspondent in 2005 as part of the Marines’ Public Affairs office. He — like Walz — never engaged in active combat and has stated that he was “lucky to escape any real fighting,” during his deployment. Vance is running alongside a known draft dodger who has repeatedly disparaged veterans and Gold Star families. If Vance wants to critique a man’s honor, he should start with his running mate."

Interesting mix of shaded shit.

Between 2003 and 2009, there were many NG units deployed to Iraq.

The interesting thing about them that I saw was there is a lot of "family" in a unit. The Battalion Commander is Bob. the CSM is his cousin Bill. Two of the Battery Commanders are sons, etc. And you don't let family down. Hence, they make take a few shortcuts, but they get the job done.

338 Did I serve two tours in Vietnam? Yes. Did I draw hostile fire pay? Yes. My time in the war was mostly counting boxes, driving trucks, and typing reports. I did, inadvertently keep my entire squad from dying by refusing to go AWOL with them to the White Horse Bar in Saigon. "If you're not going to go, we're not going." They were pissed at me for not going. The bar was blown up, killing everyone there, about half an hour later.

The only "combat mission" I was sent on, was my first night in country, when I was sent to be the armed guard on a convoy of trucks carrying M1-Carbines to the ARVN. And that is my war service.

IMHO at this instant it is likely NASA Administrator is going to exercise his authority and order the crew to stay onboard the ISS and Starliner will do an automated entry, and hopefully intact landing. Even if all the NASA and Boeing engineers say it is safe for crew entry/landing. (Which appears to not be the case at this instant.)

The bad news for the Starliner Two: They may not get a ride home until February. A 'rescue' Dragon that launches in the near future with two empty seats will of course carry only 2, not the planned 4, astronauts up for their six-month tour. NASA will not want to pay for another Dragon mission that only goes up to quickly return the Starliner Two. The two kicked-off the upcoming Dragon to make room for the two Starliner crew members will get up to ISS ?? months later.

Ehh, "investigations" have multiple purposes, one is to bring the guilty to justice, the other is preventing justice to be served on the guilty.

The "investigations" of Hunter began in 2018, an while these intrepid lawmen were investigating, and investigating, and investigating and investigating....the statute of limitations were running out on the most serious charges, then they offer a ridiculous plea deal that was so patently absurd that the judge who would typically just rubber stamp what was put in front of them, went, hold one cotton picking minute and squashed the deal.

450 Pollsters probably feel justified in raising the weighting for Democrats with Kamala vs Joe because Joe was so anti-inspiring and there's a ton of manufactured excitement for Kamala. They're expecting 2008 levels of Democrat turnout.

We'll see if it happens, but even if it does, I think it's foolish to expect 2008 levels of GOP turnout, not to mention 2008 levels of Independent support for the Democrat candidate.

I think picking Walz was all about motivating the base, which generates fervor, which translates to weighted polling, which gives the appearance of momentum.

In reality, Kamala has got around 38% of the electorate really really excited. Good job lady. Trump has around 38% of the electorate really excited too. The last quarter of the electorate are the swing voters and they don't get excited by hype. They vote based on their wallet, on fatigue with the party in power, and on common sense issues that directly affect them.

Trump has the advantage.

It'll be interesting to see how far we've come in terms of breaking ourselves from that sort of base partisanship in 2028 when, say, George P. Bush wins the GOP nomination off the back of his great corporate tax policy.

I was amazed at how many people (probably paid by Zuck) were just emoting over how Walz is such a great teacher, all the things he did when he was teaching (you know, normal stuff like coaching, which many teachers actually do).

No one mentioned about how he mandated tampons in boy's restrooms. No one mentioned what a China lover he is. No one mentioned how he let his state burn so that his wife could get high on the tire fumes...(ok, so I sort of added my own take on the last one). And now we find out he's a lying POS about his military service.

520 I worked from 2002 to 2005 at Camp Atterbury, Indiana, which was at the time the primary mobilization station for Guard and Reserve units deploying to theater or returning from theater. There were hundreds of Guard and Reserve units that deployed to various places, mostly to Iraq. Early on, the units were largely intact, with vacancies filled by volunteers from their home states. As the war dragged on, the units were less and less cohesive and depended more on being filled to 100% with individuals from all over the country at the mobilization station. In almost all cases, when they deployed they were still collections of civilians in uniform. When they came home, they were soldiers indistinguishable from active duty soldiers.

There is zero chance that a high-ranking leader like Walz did not know his unit was going to be mobilized and deployed. The states all lobbied to have their units called up, in part because they got plussed up with new equipment and they went on the federal payroll, freeing state budget dollars for other purposes. The deployment schedule was known far in advance of the unit getting a warning order, because the Army and the state coordinated it.
