Unearthed: JD Vance supported a congressional candidate who egregiously lied about his military service and claimed he was deployed to Afghanistan when he never was.

We’re of the mind that this ought to be the end of any more time spent addressing attacks on Tim Walz’s military record. The worst, and really only, time he came close to misrepresenting it was one word in one sentence “Those weapons of war that I carried in war” while talking about the need for better gun laws, emphasis ours, which by itself does make it sound like he said he fought on a battlefield. He does not seem to have implied anywhere else otherwise, unlike Texas MAGA Congressman Troy Nehls, who was ordered to stop wearing a combat veteran pin on June 26th.
The accusation that Walz abandoned his unit right as they shipped out to Iraq? Walz retired two months before they got their deployment notice. It wasn’t due to “bone spurs.” That he got demoted from Sergeant Major? Retired before he could fulfill the three year requirement in order to retain the title. Ronny Jackson got demoted for different reasons. Harris-Walz could use some guys who Walz served with to work the media as surrogates, but one single word said one time is all they’ve got.
And “BASED” guy JR Majewski, they have him too. JD Vance never saw combat either, he churned out press releases from an office, but at least he went to Iraq. The same can’t be said about the QAnon freak Majewski, whose false claims of serving in Afghanistan and in the special forces blew up his first campaign in 2022 and STILL Vance was defending the sick fuck from the “dishonest smears” last year as Majewski was mounting a comeback that eventually imploded as well.
