JD Vance Joins Fellow Veterans to Torch Tim Walz for Stolen Valor at Pennsylvania VFW PostKristina Wong 15 Aug 2024
Republican vice presidential nominee and Marine veteran Sen. JD Vance (OH) torched Democrat vice presidential nominee Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz for lying about his military service at a Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) post in Pennsylvania on Thursday.
“We’re not attacking his honorable service. We’re attacking the dishonesty about that service. That is not honorable. That is the height of dishonor, and Tim Walz should not be the vice president of the United States because of it,” Vance said.
https://twitter.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/1824101585506410806Walz, who served 24 years as a reservist with the Army National Guard, has falsely claimed he “retired command sergeant major,” or an E-9, despite retiring at the rank of sergeant major — a rank below, an E-8. While he was promoted provisionally to command sergeant major, he did not finish the requirements to retain or retire at that rank.
Walz also claimed to be “in war” although he never deployed in combat. He has also misleadingly called himself a veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) despite never serving in Afghanistan. He has also implied he “came back” from war despite serving tours in Europe.
