Elections Adam Kinzinger CALLS OUT JD Vance for His Bogus Attacks on Tim Walz

[Takes Two To Tango]

Did what he said make sense?

Cliffs:

- Walz could have retired at 20 year service with a pension but continued for another 4 years.
- Walz stayed in service 4 years after 9/11 and two years after the Iraq war started.
- Explains why Walz got his ranking.
- Kinzinger said he'd be just as furious if they attacked JD vance about his military service.
- One of them avoiding the draft claiming bone spurs.
- Even if Walz had known that deployment was imminent there is nothing unethical or cowardice for him to retire at that moment in time.
- If the military wanted to they could have stopped him from retiring and gave him a stop loss, so he could only retire until he finishes the mission.

Can we make a “do these people make good points about JD Vance’s comments on Walz @Takes Two To Tango Megathread”?

The only thing it's different responses, I don't think a megathread will work. But I'm not a mod so whatever floats.

Kinzinger is a guy I hope is on the forefront of a more sane post Trump GOP

Sucks Illinois killed his district with their redistricitng after the last censuses. I know districting is a game of how much Gerry Mandering the courts will let you get away with, but I wish they would have left a moderate Republican district in central IL. Not like the Dems killed a MGT type Congress person’s job.

I was making a joke. You don’t need to get input whenever someone makes an opinion on Vance’s position

Biden dodged the same draft and if you didn’t serve then shut up

Lol… the main criticism of Walz is him insinuating he was in combat in the Middle East

Not that he left before Iraq.

Democrat pundits keep focusing on the Walz leaving nearly narrative, because there’s zero defense of Walz being in combat







I get that Republican press are harping on his his “leaving early”. I don’t care about that

Maybe he knew or maybe he didn’t. He’d been in 20+ years. His decision to make

Honestly, they focus on his shit policies in 2020

- letting BLM burn down his cities when…
- he had a tip line for neighbors to rat on each other for violating Covid lockedowns…

lol… so rioting is an acceptable activity during lockdowns? But fuck off if you want to walk your dog without a mask?

Sounded like he was going to start crying again.

Veteran here...

People retiring to avoid deployment, PCS, training etc is commonplace. From MY experience no one cared. In many cases, people were lauded for that decision. "Why risk it one more time when I'm eligible to retire and I can go live my life somewhere?" I do not speak on behalf of all veterans here. However, many that I know personally don't care.

No idea who either of those guys are, but I agree with that one guys characterization of veterans running for office.

'Thank you for your service that I will immediately denigrate if you ever run for office' is basically what's happening.

They obviously feel really threatened by the fact JD Vance's service dwarfs Waltz's service. They are going full court press on it.

Bad play imo.

All it does is put more emphasis on the fact one guy was a marine and the other one was a POG who tried to make it sound like he saw combat.

They should have just ignored it and moved on.

 

[NastyNinja]

Yeah ... 20 years ... fucking nothing!

I don't care if he was helping file tax returns for Vets... THAT IS A MAN IN THE SERVICE OF THE U.S.A.

If one day I find out his weapon of war was a fucking pen to write checks to widows of lost soldiers.... He did 20 plus years as a cog in the machine.

I bet 95% of the people here never did ANYTHING for 20 years.

 

[nostradumbass]

Nice to finally see an Adam Kinzinger interview where he didn't burst into tears.

Literally every single one of these retards who try to come rushing to Tampon Tim's defense for political purposes doesn't even address the actual criticism. The criticism isn't that he was in the national guard, it's that he LIED about his rank and claimed to have been in war, and he lied for decades. If these clowns aren't going to address that, then they can just STFU and go back to sobbing in public.

Holy jesus..

 

[Darkballs]

The attacks on Walz's service aren't working. You only see the pure chuds still grasping at it. And that's because, at it's core, claims of stolen valor aren't hard to analyze. You treat it like any other lie. Was the guy genuinely trying to misrepresent his service? And you'd have to be an idiot to claim that one comment at a town hall was a genuine attempt to claim status as a combat vet.

I don't even think the trumpers really believe this one. They're just desperate for something to stick. But by all mean, waste time and money on it. It totally comes off as genuine from the campaign of captain bone spurs.

He's a bitch crying all time. An actor.
Catturd made him cry....lol

I am a vet but since I’m apparently allowed to take credit for shit I didn’t do as long as I served I want to go ahead and say I’m not sure if I’m more proud of seizing the beaches at Normandy single-handedly or holding of the Persians at the hot gates.
