JD Vance tried to own Tim Walz by playing a video game saying "This is as close as Walz got to combat"
vance missed twice. and has horrible trigger discipline
@Kinnison Vance never experienced combat, either, according to his book Hillbilly Elegy. He was a military journalist.
Dont make me defend Vladamer Futon
THe point is Vance keeps digging on Walz falsely claiming he was in combat. Vance has never made that claim
@Kinnison @Coctaanatis Last I heard, Walz never claimed to have been in combat. He said he's been to Afghanistan, which he had as a member of a congressional delegation.
@Boyceaz @Kinnison It's a reference to this where he said he carried weapons in war. https://x.com/KamalaHQ/status/1820918063966962143
@Coctaanatis @Kinnison I think it's reasonable to construe that he was trying to say he carried in the service, i.e. in preparation for war. It's not like he's telling a first person story of a fight he wasn't in.I give him a pass.
tim walz obviously misspoke about "carrying in combat" with a rapid unscripted comment and has since admitted publicly never being in or near combat.
Walz service was exemplary and you don't get to E-9 in the guard by sitting on your butt, you get there by solving problems
