Questioning Walz's Military Service is Just Plain Stupid

[musclecar6]

45. I enlisted

In the Air Force in 1966. I did it for two reasons as I came from a small town in Connecticut and unless you were in college or some other legitimate endeavor and you were of age, it was one of those things you were supposed to do. When your country calls, you stand up. The other reason was, I figured if I enlisted in the Air Force, yes, I’ll probably have to spend possibly one year in Vietnam, but the other three years I can continue on going to college at night and planning for my career when I got out of my commitment to Uncle Sam.

As it turned out, I spent my entire three years and five months stationed in California after I got out of trainIng( I got a seven month early out because certain career fields they were starting to wind down didn’t need so many people as it looked like Vietnam was gonna come to an end). I was trained as a procurement specialist and was a purchasing agent for the Air Force from local vendors in the area. It was a great job in the Air Force and one could stay in the Air Force for 20 years or get out after your four years and go to work in Civil Service doing the exact same job.

The point others have made on here is once you sign onto the line and raise your hand to join the military, you have no control over what they’re gonna tell you to do or assign you to. They don’t ask you what you wanna do they tell you what you’re going to do. Huge difference from civilian life.

Tim Walz spent 24 years in the military. Then that Vance character has the audacity to question his integrity and denigrates him. Vance has some nerve, especially since he has partnered up with that absolutely deplorable character who dreamed up a bone spurs lie and then calls people who are in the service, losers and suckers. Vance has a lot of explaining for making that choice after previously saying publicly many times, what a deplorable person Trump is and then signing up to run as the vice president .Tim Walz has nothing to explain about.
