Wait, do I have story for you! [View all]

I have a GOBer friend who grew up in West Point Nebraska, same as where Tim Walz was born and lived there for a few years before their family moved to Butte Nebraska.

My friend said he didn’t know the name. Which could be true, but oddly enough he knew the name of Walz’s mother’s maiden name.

The conversation turned to Walz’s military career and that how Walz never carried a weapon, or was in any military action overseas.

I shut that down quickly! I said that I served 6 years active and reserves where I never carried a weapon or was in combat! I than said that a Command Sergeant Major would probably not be in going to any areas of combat unless it was in an emergency situation.

Oddly enough, my friend changed the subject! Got to love these guys who are always trying to make $#i+ up, plus my buddy never served in the military either! Lucky that he didn’t bring up Bonespurs Boy up, cuz I would have shut that down just as quickly as the false claim of Walz’s record!
