I have been beating the drum on Walz since the party announced he was Harris’s running mate.

From day 1 I have been begging someone with some collar weight that the media may pay attention to to succinctly address the issue of Walz’s Moral Cowardice in how he abandoned 1-125 FA and guide the focus of the conversation away from “Stolen Valor.”

to be blunt: 99% of Voters outside of the veteran demographic don’t care about stolen valor. They are so disconnected from it that the ADHD of the social media age closes off their receptors as soon as they hear the term.

This is absolutely most well articulated piece describing the Reserve Component mobilization process and it needs broader distribution.

I deployed with the 1-34 BCT to that OIF 5/6 rotation. I was at the end of an 8 year break in service when my ARNG recruiter in Colorado referred me to a Nebraska unit in Feb2005 because he knew I wanted to be on the first guaranteed flight to Iraq. I was handed over and enlisted by March 2005. By the time I had alert orders in my hand in July I believe I had 40+ MUTA credited to me for showing up for pre mobilization activities and training. This deployment wasn’t a surprise to anyone let alone a CSM in a unit organic to the 34th ID.

I would be happy to assist in whatever way I can if someone gets in a position for a media outlet to hear a more accurate story than the “Fact Checkers” like Boston Chronicle and Matthew Medsger are offering the lemmings.

Amen brother. It's a sad but important note that no one outside our community and culture truly gives a shit about the Stolen Valor aspect of Walz's ascendancy. Worse yet, even if they care, it seems the leftists are willing to overlook it and buy the "I misspoke" (for 19 years!) excuse. Oh but they'll tell you all about how the other side has failed. The butwhaddabout is staggering.

Anyone with real experience knows he was fully aware of what was coming. Cmon, thats how the FORSCOM "patch chart" works. Any claim otherwise is ignorant or self-serving and assumes the rest of us are idiots. I've read from Chris Hernandez, who does his research and is a pretty balanced guy, that Walz's BDE CSM didn't even know he'd retired until it was done. That certainly reinforces the assertion that he took a billet from a worthy man because he knew it would be good on his political resume, then dipped the moment the job presented any personal risk.

Walz is a coward and a turd, and I have to think his honor is for sale since he already compromised it for personal and political gain.

Do people know that Harris's husband got a Nanny pregnant and the nanny gave up the baby and got paid off. Biden showered with his Daughter. Obama wrote a letter to his ex girlfriend that he fantasized about having sex with men. Jill biden ran around on her husband with joey...Biden's grandbaby is to a stripper which they disowned. And yes it is true and you can look it up , Biden has sexually assaulted tons and tons of woman . and the whole world knows biden sniffs little girls and women and tries to touch their breast. Hunter is a FELON that slept with underage girls. So much more dirt on them put I dont have all day to write.

There is no way that Kamala, the democratic party, even Obama could NOT have known about this man and his shaded history. This proves to me, like at other times, that the party and its members do not care whether there is dirt among them and will continue the way they have in the past. "No big deal, just keep on going" is their motto. The American people won't pay attention.

I concur completely with this assessment of the charge of Stolen Valor.
