mlmp08 posted:If someone really wanted to jump on his statements about military service, this line makes more sense. And it appears to be true on a technicality. He did deploy to Europe as part of OEF, which was considered a wartime deployment (again, on a technicality). The best article I've read so far is here: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/tim-walz-military-record/ Basically, NYT et al that chomped on the swiftboat poo poo assigned stories to normie reporters instead of vets who would know that retirement paperwork gets dropped months before the actual retirement happens!

It is a deployment in support of OEF, but it was not a deployment to a combat zone. I don't get into dick-waving about going to Iraq proper vs something like Air Crew or loggies/comms/security/etc who "only" went to Kuwait or Qatar or Jordan or the like where they were told they might take ballistic missile fire during OIF/OEF, but deploying to a base in Italy isn't "carrying a weapon in war." His exaggeration and misleading comment there is far from unique, though. We've seen politicians deploy that line when they literally never left the states or their only overseas mission was like... training with a friendly nation during peace-time ops. Hell, I knew a dude who was a Top Tier dipshit who got mocked until he quit ROTC. He tried for years to become kind of an intellectual dark-web style rightwing blogger and campaign worker, who described himself as a "veteran of the Iraq War" because his ROTC training was geared toward "alla y'all are going to Iraq" before he quit. He wasn't even a contract cadet, which means he was just a student who signed up for the MS100/200-series uni class electives... Still, this whole line of attack coming from a Combat Camera Marine is pretty rich. JD Vance is just a huckster.

See, a tankie of my acquaintance is already getting blog articles about how Walz isn't as liberal as he seems and vetoed worker protection bills. Make up y'all's minds!

It would've been funnier if JD made sergeant so "Sergeant Scribbles" might stick. "Combat camera marine" is pretty good! One of the things I respected Max of Terminal Lance the most for - he deployed once as an MRAP gunner, *then* deployed again as a photographer/artist. And on why Kamala isn't doing pressers and you're not hearing much about it: she's chatting off-record on her plane. https://x.com/daveweigel/status/1821563888522960963?t=RC1bKdHxN6uY2CMGBkpHeA&s=19

Didn’t he have a bad relationship with house democrats? I think i saw something about how he rarely visited them or spoke directly with their leadership, so when withdrawal calls came in they were stronger from the house than the senate.

While German is probably the biggest ancestry of most white Minnesotans, it isn’t the one everyone loves to claim. That’s Finland and Sweden. This state loves to pretend they are the most polite and well mannered descendants of literal vikings that have ever existed.

I once listened as an old Norwegian ship captain in Tromsø lamented that all of his relatives had moved to Minnesota over the years. Based solely on that one interaction, I firmly believe that Minnesota's lutefisk-loving reputation is well deserved.
